TRACKING CREATURES
TRACKING CREATURES
To track, one or more creatures must succeed on a Wisdom (Survival) check. You might require trackers to make a new check in any of the following circumstances:
They stop tracking and resume after finishing a short or long rest.
The trail crosses an obstacle, such as a river, that shows no tracks.
The weather conditions or terrain changes in a way that makes tracking harder.
The DC for the check depends on how well the ground shows signs of a creature’s passage. No roll is necessary in situations where the tracks are obvious.
Ground Surface | DC |
Soft surface such as snow | +10 |
Dirt or grass | +15 |
Bare stone | +20 |
Each day since the creature passed | +5 |
Creature left a trail such as blood | -5 |
