Loading Zone (5e Hazard)
Loading Zone[edit]
The loading zone is a semi-rare magical phenomenon that links two seemingly unrelated places on the same plane. The peripheral effects of the loading zone are obviously magical to even the untrained eye, and can include effects such as fading into thin air when one crosses it, or a highly localized cloud of mist that never disperses. The most common effect is for a creature to touch the zone and fade into a silhouette of nothingness over several seconds, before instantaneously materializing on the other side.
The loading zone is a plane between 5 to 30 feet wide and 5 to 30 feet tall that has physical borders on its sides (eg. a pair of conspicuous trees, a doorway, e.t.c) This plane sits on the border of all of the spaces that both faces of the zone are adjacent to, and both sides are considered to be adjacent to one another. When a creature touches the loading zone during combat, its turn immediately ends and it is considered nonexistent. The creature reappears in the space on the other side of the zone at the start of its next turn.
