About this model
A square pillar of pale, sandy yellow stone with a mottled surface, plain from base to top. It measures about 1.5 ft on each side and 7 ft high, narrow enough to share a square.
Use it in desert halls, sandstone temples, palace porticos and dungeon corridors. A row of these supports a roof and breaks a large room into bays. In combat a pillar gives cover to a creature behind it and makes a long hall feel less open, so ranged duels become a matter of peeking out and ducking back.
Ideas for the table
- A sandstone temple's pillars hide mummies that step out when the party passes.
- Duellists circle a narrow pillar in a palace courtyard, each trying to force the other into the open.
- One pillar in a desert hall has worn handholds, revealing a hidden ledge above the ceiling beams.
