A Hazard includes any effect that can cause harm, but does not have a stat block. Most Hazards are self-contained dangers that affect anyone or anything that comes into contact with them. A scorching desert, a Toxic Atmosphere or Corrosive Atmosphere, and a virulent Disease are all examples of Hazards.
Hazards affect organic creatures, machines, or both. A Hazard resolves its effects by making an attack roll against one of the target's Defense Scores; if the attack succeeds, the target suffers the effects of the Hazard, including damage that may require special actions to treat. A Hazard may affect all targets within an area or a single target, depending on its nature and range.
All Hazards have one or more Keywords that describe how the hazards function mechanically. Some creatures have bonuses against certain types of Hazards (for example, a Beast might ignore environmental hazards in certain terrain).
