Integration Notes for the DM

• Encounter Distance & Surprise: Distance is derived using standard ACKS II wilderness encounter ranges. Apply thermal, foliage, or subterranean modifiers as dictated by terrain.

• Arduin Lethality: Arduin elements introduce high-variability effects (such as direct stat loss, technological hybrid gear, and wild magic failures). Keep the Arduin Critical Hit/Miss tables handy if running physical combat during these encounters.

• Domain Impact (ACKS II): Humanoid groups (Orcs, Hobgoblins, Knights) exist within the regional domain ecosystem. Resolving these encounters violently or diplomatically affects local Domain Unrest and Lair Clearance ratings.
