*These assume the player characters find a route around the obstacle.
Alternatively, the DM can require the characters to scale or span the obstacle,
playing out this encounter.
**These extremes must be in excess of the norm expected of the character or
creature. Thus, a camel is relatively unaffected by the scorching heat of a
desert and a yak barely notices the cold of high mountains.
***This cost is negated by the presence of a bridge or ford.
