Terrain and Hazards
The battlefield in Wizards and Warlords weekly games includes interactive terrain elements designed to add strategy, immersion, and danger to every encounter. Players are expected to respect and follow all terrain rules to ensure safety and fairness.
Terrain Pieces
Palisades
Palisades represent sharpened defensive barricades.
Simulated using pool noodles or similar foam props.
- Function: Block movement and line of sight
- Damage Rule: Touching the pointed part of a palisade results in 2 HP of damage
Players should avoid leaning, pushing, or attempting to climb over palisades.
Walls
Walls are solid obstacles that block physical and magical attacks, and sometimes line of sight.
- Do not run into, climb, or move walls during play
