THE ZONE: Cursed Exclusion Area

Y
Yugo20

A deadly Zone of mutants, artifacts, and factions. You seek truth, treasure, or survival.


Author's Note: This world is inspired by the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, Roadside Picnic, and Tarkovsky’s film Stalker. It blends post-apocalyptic survival with mystery, horror, and moral ambiguity. Radiation, anomalies, and mutant threats are ever-present. Suggested rules: incorporate exhaustion, madness, artifact effects, and custom hazards. Emissions can shift locations or spawn new dangers. Factions compete for control, and trust is rare. Expect a low-magic, high-lethality environment where knowledge and preparation matter more than brute strength.

Description

You create a 10-­--foot-­--radius, 20-­--foot-­--tall cylinder of magical energy centered on a point on the ground that you can see within range. Glowing runes appear wherever the cylinder intersects with the floor or other surface. Choose one or more of the following types of creatures: celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, or undead. The circle affects a creature of the chosen type in the following ways: - The creature can't willingly enter the cylinder by nonmagical means. If the creature tries to use teleportation or interplanar travel to do so, it must first succeed on a charisma saving throw. - The creature has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets within the cylinder. - Targets within the cylinder can't be charmed, frightened, or possessed by the creature. When you cast this spell, you can elect to cause its magic to operate in the reverse direction, preventing a creature of the specified type from leaving the cylinder and protecting targets outside it.
