All liquids come with certain unique attributes that effect how it interacts with the world and vice versa: | All liquids come with certain unique attributes that effect how it interacts with the world and vice versa: | ||
* Cleaning factor, how well it removes other fluids from the target. | |||
* Evaporativity, how easily the liquid evaporates (i.e. transitions into gas form). Note that not all liquids can evaporate. | |||
* Fluidity, how easily pools of it will run into adjacent cells. Higher values means more runny: {{favilink|honey}} is 10, while {{favilink|oil}} is 40. | |||
* Temperature | * Temperature | ||
** Base temperature, the heat it is at when resting. Unless constant temperature effects are being applied the liquid will return towards this temperature each turn. | ** Base temperature, the heat it is at when resting.

* Weight, the heaviness of each Dram. The typical weight is 0.25lb per Dram, making the first three Drams weightless. | * Weight, the heaviness of each Dram. The typical weight is 0.25lb per Dram, making the first three Drams weightless. | ||
Though a not listed as a number value, liquids can also force a roll to prevent a negative outcome: | |||
* Slippiness. Puddles (1,000 Drams or less) of {{favilink|Gel}}, {{favilink|Oil}}, or {{favilink|Slime}} requires passing a <math>10 + (\text{drams of Oil}) \times 5</math> roll. Failing this roll will cause them to slip, uncontrollably sliding them a few tiles; slipping through a pool and failing the roll again will cause them to continue sliding. | |||
* Stickiness. Cells containing {{favilink|Asphalt}}, {{favilink|Honey}}, {{favilink|Molten Wax}} or {{favilink|Sap}} can cause entities to become stuck for a maximum of 12 turns, requiring a variable saving throw to escape. Each tile needs to be successfully escaped, meaning large pools can take a long time to wade through. | |||

Liquids typically exist in one of three conditions: | Liquids typically exist in one of three conditions: | ||
* | * On tiles. Liquids will pool on the floor and can be distinguished by a unique combination of color fill, color outline, and animation effect. Entities and objects that occupy the same tile as a liquid will typically be coated with the liquid: an item | ||

* In containers. Fluids can be poured into [[Liquid Containers]] to transport them between locations, though containers can be damaged by their contents if they are not appropriate; trying to carry {{favilink|lava}} in a non-glass container like a {{favilink|phial}} will result in the high temperature burning the container and the person carrying it. Damaged containers will start to leak Drams onto the holder every turn, and destroyed containers will spill all Drams immediately. | * In containers.
