Hexploration

Activities §

• Decide on how you want to go about the adventuring day.
  • Learn more about the current hex, or traversing a new hex
  • Group activities are limited by the slowest member of the group:

Speed	Activities Per Day
10ft or less	1/2
15-25 ft	1
30-40 ft	2
45-55 ft	3
60+ ft	4

• Assumes camping time and healthy resting intervals
• It is possible to split up, if you so desired, to accomplish more activities, but this would likely create distance between groups. Bear that in mind.

Forced March §

• At the beginning of the day, you can choose a forced march, as long as no one is fatigued. Gain an extra travel action, but traveling is all that you are able to do that day.
• Can forced march for a number of days equal to your Constitution Modifier
  • Extra days of forced marching results in that character becoming fatigued until a full rest

Group Activities §

• These each count as one of the day’s hexploration activities for the whole group.

Travel §

• Progress toward moving into an adjacent hex.
  • In open terrain, such as a plain, 1 Travel moves from one hex into another.
  • Difficult terrain (forests, desert) require 2 Travels
  • Greater terrain (mountains, swamp) require 3 travels
  • Road reduces the travel time by one

Reconnoiter §

• Surveying and exploring the area, looking for unusual features or specific sites.
• Hexploration activities = actions needed to traverse the hex (plains=1, forest=2, etc.)
  • Roads do not lessen reconnoiter times
• Automatically find visible landmarks and locations; attempt checks to find anything secret or hidden, if present.
