  • Travel Pace
    • Pace Table
  • Activities While Travelling

The distance in feet a creature can walk in a single round.

Rules differ for non life-threatening time.

Pace determines any effects.

You move at half your normal speed in difficult terrain.

Travel is assumed to be for 8 hours a day, longer risks exhaustion.

• For every hour over, a Constitution Saving Throw is required.
  • DC is 10 + 1 for each hour.
  • Failure is +1 exhaustion level.

Mounted characters can ride twice the 'fast' pace for 1 hour.

Wagons and similar use the regular pace table.

• Ships and other vessels have unique rules.
  • Depending on the size of the ship and crew, they might travel for up to 24 hours in a day.

Players should establish their Marching Order, i.e. their front, middle, and rear ranks.

• A single line of PCs is considered a front rank.

Slow travelling facilitates Stealth.

Passive Perception is used to determine if anyone notices threats.

• Rank might affect which characters have a chance at noticing what.
• Characters performing an activity that takes away their attention, don't contribute their passive perception.

Activities that PCs might be performing include:

• Navigating, using Wisdom (Survival) checks to stop the group getting lost.
• Drawing a map
• Tracking, using Wisdom (Survival) checks to track another creature.
• Foraging, using Wisdom (Survival) checks for food and water.

Encounters may happen when travelling, these might be fights, but could also be conversation.

• DM might determine hostile creatures as surprised.
