Guide to Camping
Managing Your Camp Site
Lets start with the basics… It took me several days before i noticed them ” the Manage Button” and the “Camp Button”.
Camp Button
Click the little campfire icon or push R
If you are on the world map it will bring up your camp menu and if you are in an area pushing R will bring up a Camp site that you have to place on the ground ( it will be green if you can place it there you need to have enough room for its placement ) clicking on this camp site will bring up the camp menu when your party gather around it.
Camp Menu
Clicking the Manage button will allow you to do thing like:
- Who dose what job – by click and dragging their icon to the boxs.
- If you want to use rations or only use what you get from hunting.
- What kind of food you want to cook and its DC (mouse over it to see the bonus of the food).
- How long you want to camp for ( you can only adjust this if your ration total is equal or grater than your needs).
Camp Management
Tips
- If you are tired of seeing thinks like your hunter took an extra 19 hours and came back with 3 rations.
- If you have enough rations you can move the slider on the top. it will become the maximum about of time spent camping for that day.
- If your party needs 9 hours and you set it for 14 your hunters will only spend 5 hours looking for rations, saving you lots of wasted time.
Rolls
Helper
The smaller box under each placement box is the helper box the person doesn’t need any skills they will just do what the main person tell them to do giving a flat +2 to that skill check.
Hunting
- Nature Lore Skill to look for Rations will go out till you have enough Rations for 1 rest if needed.
- If not needed will go out for a random about of time and bring back a random about of Rations.
I highly recommend that if you have enough Rations that you ether set a max timer for your camp for a chance of free extra Rations with out the risk of wasting a mass amount of hours or not send out the hunter and have that person fill the roll as helper for a +2 somewhere else like cooking.
Camp Camouflage
Stealth skill to lower odds of random attack when resting.
Cooking
World Knowledge skill to cook an extra dish to go along with your Rations.
You can find or buy recipes and ingredients that will allow you to cook different foods and get different bonus like
- Travel more with out needing to rest.
- More HP
- + to Saves
- +4 bonus to an ability score etc.
Your party members also have favorite foods that give additional bonus to them if you cook them.
Special Roles
See below.
Watch Order
Perception skill to see if you see the an attack coming, so they can wake everyone up and equip armor to get ready for the incoming attack.
If fail you will not have your medium or heavy armor on unless you have a feat saying otherwise (you take your armor off when sleeping) and the enemy might be on top of you getting the first rounds of attacks.
