Warn the player before a drop they cannot climb back up

A trapdoor, a collapsing bridge or a river ride can leave treasures and people behind for good, and players hate finding that out at the end. Here is how to list every one-way passage together with exactly what it would cost, so you know where a warning belongs.

Why this works

A warning is only fair when something is really lost. Comparing what the player could still reach before and after the step shows the true price, so you warn at real points of no return and stay quiet at harmless drops and loops.

When not to use it

Skip the prompt when the loss is part of the story and the player should feel it, such as a burning bridge in a tense chase. There a calm warning kills the moment; show the danger in the scene itself instead.
