Survival Rules

Navigating [Survival, Cartographer] (essential travel activity)

The character navigating attempts to lead the party to where they intend to go.

Make a survival check or a check using a cartographer's kit that you are proficient with. The success level of the roll determines how well the party navigates the wilds.

Travel Table

Survival Check Roll	Result
<5	Don’t Move, and roll on the Encounter Table
6–9	Move in a random direction (d6)
10–14	Move towards the intended direction (d3): d1: Tile to the left of the intended hex d2: Intended hex d3: Tile to the right of the intended hex
15+	Move to the intended hex

If a party member is encumbered, the navigator must roll at disadvantage. If over-encumbered, the party member cannot travel overland.

Assist (optional side activity)

A character not leading in any other activities can grant advantage in the task if they are proficient in the relevant skill; however, a character like a Bard could instead grant a Bardic Inspiration to assist in the roll of their travel action.

Hunting [Survival] (optional side activity)

A character choosing to hunt for food while traveling makes a DC 15 survival check, but it may be more difficult in certain parts of the wilds.

Yield based on region, which can modify the DC by:

+5 to DC check in a low-forage region
No DC adjustment in a normal forage region
-5 to DC check in a high-forage region

Uncooked rations weigh the same as regular rations (2 lb per ration).

The level of success determines the size/amount of the creature(s) hunted.

Small	2 uncooked rations	Beats DC by 5
Medium	4 uncooked rations	Beats DC by 10
