===Hills Terrain===

A hill can exist in most other types of terrain, but hills can also dominate the landscape. Hills terrain is divided into two categories: gentle hills and rugged hills. Hills terrain often serves as a transition zone between rugged terrain such as mountains and flat terrain such as plains.

=====Gradual Slope=====

This incline isn’t steep enough to affect movement, but characters gain a +1 bonus on [[SRD:Melee Attack|melee attacks]] against foes downhill from them.

=====Steep Slope=====

Characters moving uphill (to an adjacent square of higher elevation) must spend 2 squares of movement to enter each square of steep slope. Characters running or charging downhill (moving to an adjacent square of lower elevation) must succeed on a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 10 [[SRD:Balance Skill|Balance]] check upon entering the first steep slope square. Mounted characters make a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 10 [[SRD:Ride Skill|Ride]] check instead. Characters who fail this check stumble and must end their movement 1d2×5 feet later. Characters who fail by 5 or more fall [[SRD:Prone|prone]] in the square where they end their movement. A steep slope increases the [[SRD:DC|DC]] of [[SRD:Tumble Skill|Tumble]] checks by 2.

=====Cliff=====

A cliff typically requires a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 15 [[SRD:Climb Skill|Climb]] check to scale and is 1d4×10 feet tall, although the needs of your map may mandate a taller cliff. A cliff isn’t perfectly vertical, taking up 5-foot squares if it’s less than 30 feet tall and 10-foot squares if it’s 30 feet or taller.

=====Light Undergrowth=====

Sagebrush and other scrubby bushes grow on hills, athough they rarely [[SRD:Cover|cover]] the landscape as they do in forests and marshes. Light undergrowth provides [[SRD:Concealment|concealment]] and increases the [[SRD:DC|DC]] of [[SRD:Tumble Skill|Tumble]] and [[SRD:Move Silently Skill|Move Silently]] checks by 2.

=====Other Hills Terrain Elements=====

Trees aren’t out of place in hills terrain, and valleys often have active streams (5 to 10 feet wide and no more than 5 feet deep) or dry streambeds (treat as a trench 5 to 10 feet across) in them. If you add a stream or streambed, remember that water always flows downhill.

=====Stealth and Detection in Hills=====

In gentle hills, the maximum distance at which a [[SRD:Spot Skill|Spot]] check for detecting the nearby presence of others can succeed is 2d10×10 feet. In rugged hills, this distance is 2d6×10 feet.

Hiding in hills terrain can be difficult if there isn’t undergrowth around. A hilltop or ridge provides enough [[SRD:Cover|cover]] to hide from anyone below the hilltop or ridge.

Hills don’t affect [[SRD:Listen Skill|Listen]] or [[SRD:Move Silently Skill|Move Silently]] checks.
