Special Considerations:
1. If used to make a weapon, on a yellow it will also have a chance to do poor bonus damage of a random element ( 1d10, 1 = fire, 2 = water, 3 = lightning, 4 = light, 5 = shadow, 6 - 10 = no enchantment ) on successful yellow strikes. On a red it will do typical bonus damage.

Those who fall in must make a strength roll with a green requirement to pull themselves out, though this takes their turn unless they roll a red, in which case they may act normally.
Special Conditions:
1. Those in a pit cannot be targeted for melee attacks, and ranged only if there are no other targets. Those in the pit cannot attack at all.
2. An ally can spend their turn helping them out of the pit, or if they have a rope or similar item use that. This will put the ally at -1CS to any other act, but allow the trapped person out on their turn with a -1CS penalty on their turn to attacks.
