I generated a sword that detects shifting rooms. Can anybody give examples of what these maight be, and how they differ from secret doors?

You walk into a room, 20' by 20'. Once the door shuts, the whole room shifts 20' to the west without you knowing it. Kind of like a sideways elevator.
Then, when you go back out through the door you came in through, you're in a whole different part of the dungeon. Drives mappers wild.

Thank you! *evil laughter* |

How about a round one with a dozen or more doors, that spins like a roulette wheel? With moving rooms, anything can happen!

I have a dungeon in the works with one of these as a centerpiece... but the clever bit is that it's also an elevator! A wide, circular shaft cuts through several levels, and the elevator is a round pillar of stone with four separate sector-shaped rooms at one level, each with an identical entrance on the outer wall. As the elevator descends – oh so slowly – it also rotates, 90 degrees per level descended. I'm counting on utter confusion in the mapping department. One of those swords could sure come in handy. |

Does anyone else remember the movie Cube? It occurs to me that the writers might have been D&Ders... Rulewise, would you consider the ability of a dwarf for detecting shifting stonework to be automatic, like the sword ability? |
