States of Ruin

dice: 1d6	Features
1	Perilous. The area is dangerously worn and prone to collapse. Any impacts or damage to the structure, including from spells and other areas of effect, have a 50 percent chance of causing a collapse.
2	Crumbling. Areas within the dungeon section are choked with rubble and have a 50 percent chance of being Difficult Terrain. Half Cover and hiding places are plentiful.
3	Neglected. One dungeon hazard—such as “brown mold”, “green slime”, or “yellow mold” (see ""Hazards"" in this chapter)—is abundant.
4	Abandoned. Most of the dungeon is deserted. Dexterity (Stealth) checks have Disadvantage because any sounds stand out as unusual.
5	Secure. Ability checks made to break down doors, open locks, or carry out similar activities have Disadvantage.
6	Thriving. The dungeon is heavily populated. Any loud noises draw the attention of nearby creatures.
