  • Exploration

You try to find food, water and shelter in the wilderness, for yourself and perhaps others. The GM sets the DC by the place; particularly strange places may need a minimum number of Ranks in Survival.

Critical Success: You find 2d4 + 2 SUP worth of food and water, and shelter that gives you and up to 4 others a comfortable rest.

Success: You find 1d4 SUP worth of food and water, and shelter with basic protection from the weather, enough for a comfortable rest.

Failure: You find no usable food or water, and your shelter is poor at best: a long rest there isn't comfortable.

Critical Failure: You attract trouble, eat something you shouldn't or otherwise make things worse: perhaps a random encounter, or someone in the group poisoned (GM's call).
