Exploration Pillar General v0.3.0 #

Old Notes to Pick Through #

Not sure how I want to divide up exploration work and where to root usefulness

Exploration Activities

• Tracking & Hunting; Perception
  • Butchering; Survivalism & Dexterity
• Foraging; Investigation, Nature
• Tool & Artisanry; Relevant Checks
• Differing weather conditions affect certain types of activities
  • E.g. Tracking may be harder in the rain/wet areas
• Characters should have different things they can CHOOSE to do while camping
  • E.g. Bard has song of rest for +d6->d12 hp to PCs expending hit die

New Skill Checks & More

• New proficiencies for knowledge of creature types? (Fey, Fiend, Undead, etc)
• Survival into -> Tracking, Survivalism, Pathfinding

Crafting - PHB HAS CRAFTING RULES CHECK THEM OUT (And can be used for poison)

• Charges/durability depending on what the object is made of?
• Rest activity?
• Without tools/proficiencies, time to create should increase dramatically
  • Low tech gear & supplies should be reasonable options to make on the road
    • I.e. A PC fashions a crude dagger of bone/stone (Weaker than smithed metal (Some penalty))
• Crafting/Tinkering/Enchanting/etc should be able to be a CORE component of a characters exploration skillset
  • NO STAT INCREASES (causes meta/optimal exploratory picks for combatants)

Tool Proficiencies

• Gives prof. for applicable skills, IN ADDTION TO EXISTING PROF./EXPRTISE
• Ties into crafting

Dungeons & Character Exploration Features

• Need to analyze how classes interact with dungeons
• Possibly add dungeon traversal tools?
