I was DM (Dungeon Master) in a few encounters, which means I was in charge of the environment and the enemies. Here is a cave with various outlets of questionable use. The cave is spotted with a flamable fungus, identified as such using a "Knowledge Check" of the "Nature" skill--that is, our best "Nature" oriented character rolled a twenty-sided die, added their "Nature" modifier, and compared the resulting sum to a table of difficulties. By meeting the required difficulty of the Knowledge Check, they were able to warn the other party members: that stuff is flammable! Good to know when a Fire Bat was swooping at you, and the ghost of a Goblin who died in a volcanic vent is trying to possess you and force you into it.
