Note: The Colosseum roof is 60ft above the arena floor. Heights of the arenas will vary depending on the depth, but all arenas will be no more than 60ft from top to bottom

More on Gator Pool rules:

The center Chute and its exits are 1-way tubes of flowing water, you cannot swim against the current, you can swim enough to hover above/pas over the center chute, but you cannot move backwards through the chutes or remain inside of them, you wil be shot out one of the exits (it's magical not plumbing). Movement through a Chute does not count toward your speed that round.

Sqauares H15 and T15 under the bridges are deep water.

Movement/tactical rules for the water squares:

Deep water (10ft) requires a swim, and movement accordingly.

While in the deep water you have cover, if you are under the water you have total cover, and total concealment. Oh, and a Gator will attack you.

Shallow water (3ft) can be walked through (2 squares), or swam through.
While in the shallow water you have cover, if you are under the water you have total concealment.
Smaller creatures gain improved cover (+8 bonus to AC, +4 bonus on Reflex saves). Medium or larger creatures can crouch as a move action to gain this improved cover. Creatures with this improved cover take a -10 penalty on attacks against creatures that aren’t underwater. Standing up is another move action. Moving while crouched requires 4 squares of movement.
5-ft steps are not possible, unless you have freedom of movement.


DC of Tumble checks in such a square increases by 2.
increase the DC of Move Silently checks by 2.
Spot vs Hide (always active) gives you a clue as to which square enemy is in, though concealment rules still apply.

Landing in 3-ft water is 10-ft less of a fall. And you can successfully Jump/Tumble to lessen the fall even more.


Also note Underwater Combat rules.

Note that the highlighted areas are ledges with areas underneath.

At the start of each match, a d6 will be rolled to determine the material present in the Arena. This affects any spell/effect that requires certain materials present.

Atari-Plasma Pillar:
Atari-Plasma cannot be affected by any effect.
This pillar is completely transparent, only people/creatures and what they carry can pass through it. Effects, Spells, or Attacks will all bounce off it.

No matter when in your round you enter the Pillar, you will spend the following round in the pillar as well, at the end of the turn AFTER you enter, you will exit at any level you wish, adjacent to the Pillar (You need not be on the same height/distance as the ledge you exit into, you could be near the ceiling inside the pillar, and still exit at the 4ft level.)

Summoned creatures/constructs may enter the pillar, but unless they are under direct control or intelligent enough to understand complex instructions they must exit at the same level they entered.
