20,000 ft to 30,000 ft in Dungeons & Dragons 5e

20,000 ft to 30,000 ft

The highest mountains exceed 20,000 feet. At these elevations, creatures are subject to both high altitude fatigue and altitude sickness, whether or not they’re acclimated to high altitudes. Altitude sickness results from long-term oxygen deprivation and affects mental and physical ability scores. After each 6-hour period a character spends at an altitude of over 20,000 feet, he must succeed on a Fortitude save (DC 15, +1 per previous check) or take 1 point of damage to all ability scores. Creatures acclimated to high altitude receive a +4 competence bonus on their saving throws to resist high altitude effects and altitude sickness, but eventually, even seasoned mountaineers must abandon these dangerous elevations.
