# Rockslide
*Generic Hazard*
When a rockslide occurs, every creature in its path makes a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes `dice:2d10|noform|noparens|avg|text(11)` (`2d10`) Bludgeoning damage, has the [Prone](/Rules/Source/conditions.md#Prone) condition, and moves with the rockslide. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage only.
When the rockslide stops, its space becomes [Difficult Terrain](/Rules/Source/variant-rules/difficult-terrain-xphb.md), and all Prone creatures in its space are buried under rocks and debris. A creature buried in this way has the [Restrained](/Rules/Source/conditions.md#Restrained) condition and has [Total Cover](/Rules/Source/tables/cover-xphb.md). As an action, a creature can try to crawl out from under the rock pile. If the creature succeeds on a DC 15 Strength ([Athletics](/Rules/Source/skills.md#Athletics)) check, it is no longer Restrained; instead, it has the [Prone](/Rules/Source/conditions.md#Prone) condition and is atop the rock pile. If the check fails, the creature remains buried and gains 1 [Exhaustion](/Rules/Source/conditions.md#Exhaustion) level.
A creature that has neither the Incapacitated nor the Restrained condition can spend 1 minute freeing another creature buried by the rockslide.
## At Higher Levels
You can scale this hazard for higher levels by increasing the Bludgeoning damage as follows: `dice:4d10|noform|noparens|avg|text(22)` (`4d10`) at levels 5–10, `dice:10d10|noform|noparens|avg|text(55)` (`10d10`) at levels 11–16, and `dice:18d10|noform|noparens|avg|text(99)` (`18d10`) at levels 17–20.
