Environmental Influence & Impact Roll Chart

Players can use this optional chart to roll off for various environmental, political, and other effects that will impact their character’s land and life. How the rolls impact the land, and the character is left to player agency to rp as they so deem fit. Players can reroll charts in the event that the effect rolled does not align with their regional rp. Players can also opt to skip charts as they so see fit. Examples of use: story narrative during time skips, or during active rp.
