Backdrop When a creature attempts to Strike a living rune and critically misses, the attacker hits the surface (a canvas, wall, or so on) behind the living rune. This might damage the surface or the attacker’s weapon, at the GM’s discretion.Surface-Bound A living rune can move only along flat surfaces. If the surface it’s on is destroyed (such as a portrait hit by a fireball spell or a wall being smashed), the rune takes 7d6 damage and is shunted to the nearest flat surface. If there is no flat surface within 5 feet, the rune is destroyed.
