What does Rescue Complication Generator create?
Complicate one rescue already underway while keeping the people being helped central. Prepare the rescue objective, targets, complication, source and cause, immediate effect, time and route pressure, rescued people’s state and needs, three ways through, a worst case, recovery, aftermath and a future hook.
Who can the party be rescuing?
Choose a prisoner, child, crowd, animal, injured person, important person or somebody who does not want to leave. Their immediate needs remain central when the complication changes the plan.
How do severity and the complication work?
Set severity from a hitch or snag through a setback, serious complication, rescue in jeopardy or rescuers needing rescue. Choose a source such as the rescued people, environment, pursuers, route, lost time or rival rescuer. Show a clear cause, immediate effect, time lost and a worst case that fits the severity without declaring a rescued person dead.
How do I prepare and revise it?
Quick preparation uses the rescue, target and severity. Deep preparation adds context, complication source, rescue leader, things to avoid and private context. Lock, change and edit individual sections, save versions and reopen the people, needs, cause, pressure, routes, worst case, recovery and future hook.
What can I share with players?
Copy, download or print the complete Dungeon Master view or the separate player result. Review the selected view and private material before sharing, including hidden twists and the worst case intended for the DM. Your table decides every route, check and rescue attempt.
Does it plan the whole rescue or start combat?
It handles one rescue already underway when something goes wrong, rather than planning a whole rescue operation, running a captivity story or turning escape into pursuit. It never starts or changes combat and sends nothing to Combat Pro.
