Mortality Part 9: Multiclassing Sometimes a player feels that a different class would fit better for their character or a sudden change in the story makes it feel appropriate for a character to have levels of a different class to the one they took at 1st level. Multiclassing is an optional rule that a DM can allow for players to create new and interesting characters with a combination of abilities they otherwise couldn’t achieve with just one class. Multiclassing Requirements Multiclassing Spellcasters Spell Slots Preparing Spells Pact Magic Pg 226 Part 9: Multiclassing

Mortality Part 10: Adventuring Survival Conditions Being an adventurer is hard and thirsty work. Players must now keep track of the physical state of their character suffering from ill effects should they fail to properly maintain their character’s health. Gaining a Condition Time of Day Falling to 0 Hit Points Nearing death is a massive shock to the body. If you fall to 0 hit points for any reason - including shape shifted forms like Wild Shape - you gain +1 fatigue. Consequences Monster Attacks Monsters and environmental effects can drain the stamina of adventurers. As a GM, add condition modifiers to existing creature attacks and traps or create some new condition-causing effects. ● A wizard shoots a firebolt at you searing your body: you gain +1 thirst. ● A green ooze sucks the nutrients from your flesh: you gain +1 hunger. ● A wraith saps away at your life force and energy: you gain +1 fatigue. Improving a Condition When it’s appropriate, a character can attempt to improve their physical condition by taking an appropriate course of action. Some of the most common actions are: Eat a ration of food. You heal by 1 hunger. Drink a ration of water. You heal by 1 thirst. Get a good night’s sleep. You heal 3 fatigue if your sleep was undisturbed or 1 fatigue if it was disturbed. Temperature In-depth As you may have noticed, temperature has not been discussed earlier in this section whilst still being a survival condition. The reason for this is that Temperature is a difficult survival condition to track and is affected by many different environmental factors. Precipitation A creature exposed to light precipitation must lower their temperature by 1. A creature that is exposed to heavy precipitation must lower their temperature by 2. Pg 227 Part 11: Adventuring

Mortality Wind Insulation Certain clothes have a hot and cold insulation score. When tracking your temperature, apply these modifiers only when it would make sense. For instance, having hot insulation would not counteract any cold insulation and vice versa. Cold Resistance. A creature with resistance to cold damage is considered to have 3 cold insulation. Fire Resistance. A creature with resistance to fire damage is considered to have 3 hot insulation. Exhaustion Time Movement The Environment Environmental Hazards Deep Snow Deep snow is considered difficult terrain for a creature that is not wearing snowshoes. Desecrated Ground Frigid Water A creature can be immersed in frigid water for a number of minutes equal to its Constitution score before suffering any ill effects. Each additional minute spent in frigid water requires the creature to succeed on a DC10 Constitution saving throw or gain a level of exhaustion. Creatures with resistance or immunity to cold damage automatically succeed on the saving throw, as do creatures that are naturally adapted to living in ice-cold water. A creature that is acclimated to cold climates can be immersed in frigid water for a number of minutes equal to twice their Constitution modifier before suffering ill effects. Quicksand A quicksand pit covers the ground in roughly a 10-foot-square area and is usually 10 feet deep. When a creature enters the area, it sinks 1d4+1 feet into the quicksand and becomes Restrained (as explained in appendix A). At the start of each of the creature’s turns, it sinks another 1d4 feet. As long as the creature isn’t completely submerged in quicksand, it can escape by using its action and succeeding on a Strength check (DC = 10 + the number of feet the creature has sunk into the quicksand). A creature that is submerged in quicksand can’t breathe. A creature can pull another creature within its reach out of a quicksand pit by using its action and succeeding on a Strength check (DC = 5 + the number of feet the target creature has sunk into the quicksand). Slippery Ice A creature that moves onto slippery ice for the first time or that moves more than half its speed must make a DC12 Dexterity (Acrobatics) check or fall Pg 228 Part 11: Adventuring

Mortality prone unless they are wearing crampons. Thin Ice Thin ice has a weight tolerance of 3d10 x 10 pounds per 10-foot-square area. Whenever the total weight on an area of thin ice exceeds its tolerance, the ice in that area breaks. All creatures on broken ice fall through. Vision & Light Light comes in a variety of levels imposing certain effects on different creatures. Brightest light can be caused by a clear sunny day and allows creatures that lack Low-Light vision or Darkvision to see perfectly fine. Creatures with Low-Light vision are partially blinded (as explained in appendix A) and creatures with Darkvision are blinded (as explained in appendix A) when they are in Brightest light. Bright light can be caused by cloudy or overcast days and are well lit. All creatures can see without penalty in Bright light. Dim light can be caused by fading light such as a dark stormcloud or heavy fog. Creatures that lack Low-Light vision or Darkvision are partially blinded (as explained in appendix A) when they are in Dim light. Dark light can be caused by very faint light such as moonlight or starlight. Creatures that lack Darkvision are blinded (as explained in appendix A) and creatures that possess Darkvision are partially blinded (as explained in appendix A) Darkest light is caused by an absence of light completely such as in an unlit underground dungeon. Creatures are blinded (as explained in appendix A) when they are in Darkest light. Blindsight A creature with blindsight can perceive its surroundings without relying on sight, within a specific radius. Creatures without eyes, such as oozes, and creatures with echolocation or heightened senses, such as bats and true dragons, have this sense. Darkvision Low-Light Vision Truesight Weather Blizzard A blizzard is automatically under the effects of Strong Snow and Strong Wind and is an area of Extreme Cold. Rain Light. A creature that spends an hour or more in light rain is soaked (as explained in appendix A) until they spend an hour or more drying themselves by a fire. Heavy. A creature that spends 10 minutes or more in heavy rain is soaked (as explained in appendix A) until they spend an hour or more drying themselves by a fire. Pg 229 Part 11: Adventuring

Mortality Sandstorm An area affected by a sandstorm is also considered to be affected by strong wind. A creature travelling through a sandstorm without goggles is blinded. Otherwise, they can see no farther than 30 feet away. The strong winds from a sandstorm do not cool a creature down. Snow Light. Strong. Wind Light. Strong. Underwater The Sky Social Interaction Pg 230 Part 11: Adventuring

Mortality Part 11: Combat The Order of Combat Surprise Initiative The order of combat each round is determined by initiative rolls. At the start of each round, every creature involved in the combat rolls a d20 and adds their Dexterity modifier. The initiative order goes from the creature with the highest initiative roll to the lowest. Speed Factor Smaller creatures are more nimble and thus act faster than slow lumbering giants. Consult the table below to see what bonus you get to initiative rolls. Speed Factor Size Initiative Modifier Tiny +5 Small +2 Medium 0 Large -2 Huge -5 Gargantuan -8 Colossal -12 Titanic -15 Your Turn Reactions Certain special abilities, spells, and situations allow you to take a special action called a reaction. A reaction is an instant response to a trigger of some kind, which can occur on your turn or on someone else's. The opportunity attack, described later in this chapter, is the most common type of reaction. When you take a reaction, you can't take another one until the start of your next turn. If the reaction interrupts another creature's turn, that creature can continue its turn right after the reaction. Dodge As a reaction when you are targeted by an attack, you may roll a d20 and add your Dexterity + your Rank Bonus in Robes or Light Armour provided that you are wearing either type of armour in the location that is targeted (If you are wearing robes on your torso and no other armour in other locations, the unarmoured locations also use the AC provided by the robes). If the result is higher than the attacker’s attack roll, the attack misses. Otherwise, if the result is lower than the attacker’s attack roll the attack hits regardless of whether it was lower or higher than the targeted location’s AC. Pg 231 Part 12: Combat

Mortality If the result on the d20 roll was a 20, the attack automatically misses unless it was a critical hit in which case, the critical hit becomes a normal hit instead. If the result on the d20 roll was a 1, the attack automatically hits and becomes a critical hit provided it wasn’t one already. Deflect Brace Block As a reaction when you are targeted by an attack, you may roll a d20 + your Strength modifier + your Rank Bonus in Heavy Armour or Heavy Shields provided that you are wearing or wielding either type of armour. If the result is higher than the attacker’s attack roll, the attack deals no damage to you and your armour or shield takes a notch. Movement and Position Breaking Up Your Move Difficult Terrain Being Prone When a creature is prone, they have disadvantage on attack rolls and melee attack rolls made against them have advantage. Ranged attack rolls made against the creature are made at disadvantage. Standing up from being prone costs 15 feet of movement. Sprinting When you choose to sprint, you give up your action, reaction and any bonus action if you are able to use one in order to move 5 times your speed in a straight line. This movement provokes opportunity attacks as normal but a creature doesn’t need to give up their reaction to make an opportunity attack against you. You cannot sprint if you have already used your movement, action, bonus action or reaction. Actions in Combat Attack Cast a Spell Dash Disengage If you take the Disengage action, your movement doesn’t provoke opportunity attacks for the rest of the turn. Dodge When you take the Dodge action on your turn, you focus entirely on avoiding attacks. Until the start of your next turn, any attack roll against you has disadvantage if you can see the attacker, and you make Dexterity saving throws and Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks made to avoid being disarmed, grappled, shoved or tripped with advantage. You lose this benefit if you are incapacitated (as Pg 232 Part 12: Combat

Mortality explained in appendix A) or if your speed drops to 0. Additionally, when an attack misses you, or you succeed on a Dexterity saving throw whilst you are under the effects of the Dodge action, you may move 5ft. This movement provokes opportunity attacks as normal. Help Hide Ready Search Use an Object Making an Attack Whether you’re swinging a sword at an enemy, letting a volley of arrows rain down on your foes or shooting a firebolt spell, an attack has a simple structure. 1. Choose a target. Pick a target within your attack’s range: a creature, an object, or a location. 2. Determine modifiers. The DM determines whether the target has cover and whether you have advantage or disadvantage against the target. In addition, spells or special abilities, and other effects can apply penalties or bonuses to your attack roll. 3. Determine where your attack lands. You roll on the hit location table and the sublocation table if it’s applicable to the hit location. 4. Resolve the attack. You make the attack roll. On a hit, you roll damage, unless the particular attack has rules that specify otherwise. Some attacks cause special effects in addition to or instead of damage. If there’s ever any question whether something you’re doing counts as an attack, the rule is simple: if you’re making an attack roll, you’re making an attack. Attack Rolls When making an attack, your attack roll determines whether the attack hits or misses. To make an attack roll, roll a d20 and add the appropriate modifiers. If the total of the roll plus modifiers exceeds the target’s Armour Class (AC), the attack hits. The AC of a hit location is determined by the armour that a character is wearing and is calculated at character creation whereas the AC of a monster is in its stat blocks. Scrapes If the attack roll against a target equals the target’s AC, the amount of damage that the target takes is halved and the target suffers no other wounds from the attack. Modifiers to the Roll Whenever a character makes an attack roll, the two most common modifiers that are applied to the roll are an ability modifier and the character’s proficiency rank bonus with a weapon. When a monster makes an attack, its Pg 233 Part 12: Combat

Mortality attack modifiers for its attacks are listed in its stat block. Ability Modifier. Proficiency Rank Bonus. You add your proficiency rank bonus to your attack roll when you attack using a weapon with which you have proficiency, this same concept applies to spells, adding the proficiency rank bonus in spellcasting to the attack roll. Hit Locations Rolling 1 or 20 Unseen Attackers and Targets Ranged Attacks Range Ranged Attacks in Close Combat Melee Attacks Opportunity Attacks In combat, everyone is looking for a chance to strike a creature that is fleeing or passing by. Such a strike is called an opportunity attack. You can make an opportunity attack when a hostile creature you can see moves out of your reach. To make the opportunity attack you use your reaction to make one melee weapon attack against the creature provoking an opportunity attack. The attack occurs right before the creature leaves your reach. You can avoid opportunity attacks by taking the Disengage action. You also don’t provoke opportunity attacks when you teleport or someone or something moves you without using your movement, action or reaction. For example, you don’t provoke an opportunity attack if an explosion hurls you out of the enemy’s reach or if gravity causes you to fall past an enemy. Disarm You can attempt to disarm a creature of an object that they’re holding, making a special melee attack to do so. If you’re able to make multiple attacks, this attack replaces one of them. The target must be no more than one size larger than you and must be within your reach. Instead of making a melee attack roll, you make a Strength (Force) or Strength (Grip) check (your choice) contested by the target’s Strength (Grip) or Dexterity (Escape Artistry) check (the target’s choice). If you win the contest, the target drops one item of your choice that it is holding and you may use your bonus action to kick the item a number of feet away equal to 10 + your Strength score (minimum of 10 feet). Grapple When you attempt to grab and hold a creature or wrestle with them, you can make a special melee attack to do so. If you’re able to make multiple attacks, this attack replaces one of them. The target must be no more than one size larger than you and must be Pg 234 Part 12: Combat

Mortality within your reach. Instead of making a melee attack roll, you make a Strength (Grip) check contested by the target’s Strength (Force) or Dexterity (Escape Artistry) check (the target’s choice). If you win the contest, the target is grappled by you. Escaping a grapple. A creature that is grappled may use their action to try and break free from a grapple by making either a Strength (Force) or Dexterity (Escape Artistry) check contested by the grappler’s Strength (Grip) check. If the creature wins, they are no longer grappled. Moving a grappled creature. The grappler may attempt to move a creature they are grappling. If they choose to drag a grappled creature, they must spend an additional foot of movement for every foot that they move unless the creature is of a smaller size to them. If the creature being dragged is larger than the grappler, the grappler must instead expend an additional 2 feet of movement for every foot they move. Throwing a grappled creature. The grappler may attempt to throw a creature they are grappling assuming that the grappled creature is at least one size smaller than the thrower. The grappler must make a Strength (Force) check contested by the grappled creature’s Strength (Grip) check. If the grappler succeeds, they throw the grappled creature a number of feet equal to 10 x the grappler’s Strength modifier (minimum 10 feet). A thrown creature takes 1d6 bludgeoning damage for every 10 feet they were thrown, add the grappler’s Strength modifier to the damage that the thrown creature takes. A thrown creature must succeed on a DC10 Dexterity saving throw or also be knocked prone where they land. If the thrown creature hits another creature, that creature must make a DC10 Dexterity saving throw or take bludgeoning damage equal to half the damage that the thrown creature takes. Shove When you take the attack action, you can elect to make a special melee attack to shove the creature. If you’re able to make multiple attacks, this attack replaces one of them. The target must be no more than one size larger than you and must be within your reach. Instead of making an attack roll, you make a Strength (Force) check contested by the target’s Strength (Force), Dexterity (Balance) or Dexterity (Tumble) check (the target’s choice). If you win the contest, you either knock the target prone or push it 5 feet away from you. Trip When you attempt to knock a creature prone, you can make a special melee attack to do so. If you’re able to make multiple attacks, this attack replaces one of them. The target must be no more than one size larger than you and must be within your reach. Instead of making a melee attack roll, you make a Strength (Force) check contested by the target’s Strength (Force) or Dexterity (Balance) Pg 235 Part 12: Combat

Mortality check (the target’s choice). If you win the contest, the target is knocked prone. Targeted Attacks Unless otherwise specified, attacks a creature makes are against the target’s torso. However, sometimes it’s worth attacking a creature’s arm or a leg using a targeted attack. When a creature makes an attack, it may elect to make a targeted attack at a specific body location consulting the table below to see the penalty they incur to their attack roll: Body Locations Location Penalty Head -5 Torso -1 Arm -4 Leg -2 Tail -3 Wing -3 The creature may also choose to target a sub-location of their targeted body location but incur disadvantage on their attack roll for doing so. Cover Walls, trees, creatures, and other obstacles can provide cover during combat, making a target more difficult to harm. A target can benefit from cover only when an attack or other effect originates from the other side of the cover. There are three degrees of cover. If a target is behind multiple sources of cover, only the most protective degree of cover applies; the degrees of cover aren’t added together. For example, if a target is behind a creature that gives half cover and a tree trunk that gives three-quarters cover, the target has three-quarters cover. A target with half cover has a +2 bonus to AC and Dexterity saving throws. A target has half cover if an obstacle blocks at least half of its body. The obstacle might be a low wall, a large piece of furniture, a narrow tree trunk, or a creature, whether that creature is an enemy or a friend. A target with three-quarters cover has a +5 bonus to AC and Dexterity saving throws. A target has three-quarters cover if an obstacle blocks at least three quarters of its body. The obstacle might be a portcullis, an arrow slit, or a thick tree trunk. A target with total cover can’t be targeted directly by an attack or a spell, although some spells can reach such a target by including it in an area of effect. A target has total cover if it is completely concealed by an obstacle. Hitting Cover When a ranged attack misses a target that has cover, you must determine whether the cover was struck by the attack. Pg 236 Part 12: Combat

Mortality First determine whether the attack roll would’ve hit the protected target without cover. If the roll falls in a range where it was low enough to miss the target but high enough to have hit them if they were not benefitting from cover then the attack instead strikes the cover. If another creature is providing cover to the missed creature and the attack roll exceeds the AC of the covering creature, the covering creature is hit. Exposure Bad positioning and poor tactics can be the death of warriors by exposing them. There are two degrees of exposure. If a target is suffering from multiple sources of exposure, only the highest degree of exposure applies; the degrees of exposure aren’t added together. For instance, a creature being grappled is partially exposed but if they are also being flanked then the target is fully exposed. A target that is partially exposed suffers a -2 to their AC and Dexterity saving throws. Some conditions cause a creature to be partially exposed (as explained in appendix A) A target that is fully exposed suffers a -5 to their AC and Dexterity saving throws. Some conditions such as the blinded or unconscious condition (as explained appendix A) cause a creature to be fully exposed. Damage & Healing Hit Points & Vitality Both vitality and hit points represent the physical durability of a creature. Hit points are a measure of how much damage a creature’s body parts can take while vitality is a measure of how much damage a creature can take across its body before it begins dying. Bloodied A creature becomes Bloodied (see appendix A) when it is missing half its vitality. A creature that is Bloodied is under the Bleeding (see appendix A) condition until it regains vitality. Broken A creature becomes Broken (see the condition) when it is reduced to a quarter of its vitality maximum or less. A creature that is Broken cannot regain vitality that exceeds half its vitality maximum until it finishes a long rest. When the creature has more than a quarter of its maximum vitality, it is no longer Broken but still cannot regain vitality that exceeds half of its vitality maximum. Damage Rolls Critical Hits Damage Types Different attacks, spells, and effects deal different damage types. Some damage types have special rules and some rules, such as damage resistance, rely on the types as well. Pg 237 Part 12: Combat

Mortality The damage types are listed below, with examples to help a DM assign damage types to new effects. Physical Damage Bludgeoning. Impact attacks from weapons such as clubs or hammers, or fists Slashing. Tearing attacks from weapons such as swords and axes or a monster’s claws deal slashing damage. Slashing damage can cause Cut wounds Piercing. Puncturing and impaling attacks including spear attacks, monsters’ bites or horn, and firearm attacks deal piercing damage. Elemental Damage Acid. Corrosive liquids, gases or the stomach of a creature deal acid damage. Each time a creature takes acid damage, they must succeed on a DC10 Dexterity saving throw or have their armour take a notch. Cold. A silver dragon’s icy breath or an abominable yeti’s chilling gaze deal cold damage. Each time a creature takes cold damage, it must succeed on a DC10 Constitution saving throw or have its speed reduced by 10 feet until the end of its turn. Fire. A red dragon’s fire breath and many spells deal fire damage. Each time a creature takes fire damage, they must succeed on a DC10 Dexterity saving throw or be set ablaze (as explained in Appendix A: Conditions). Force. Spells such as magic missile or wall of force deal force damage. Each time a creature takes force damage, they must succeed on a DC10 Strength saving throw or be pushed 5 feet directly away from the source of the force damage. Lightning. A lightning bolt or a blue dragon’s breath weapon deal lightning damage. Each time a creature takes lightning damage, it must succeed on a DC10 Constitution saving throw or be shocked (as explained in Appendix A: Conditions) until the start of its next turn. Necrotic. Life draining abilities such as a vampire’s bite, or a wraith’s life drain attacks deal necrotic damage. Each time a creature takes necrotic damage, it must succeed on a DC10 Constitution saving throw or be unable to regain missing hit points or vitality until the start of its next turn. Poison. Toxins and abilities that inflict sickness deal poison damage. Each time a creature takes poison damage, it must succeed on a DC10 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned until the start of its next turn. Radiant. Abilities that rely on searing light such as a Paladin’s Divine Smite deal radiant damage. Each time a creature takes radiant damage, they must succeed on a DC10 Constitution saving throw or be partially blinded until the start of their next turn. Thunder. The boom of a thundercloud or a wave of sonic energy deals thunder damage. Each time a creature takes thunder damage, it must succeed on a DC10 Constitution saving throw or be deafened until the start of its next turn. Pg 238 Part 12: Combat

Mortality Mental Damage Psychic. Abilities that assault the mind such as the mind whip spell or a mind flayer’s mind blast deal psychic damage. Each time a creature takes psychic damage, they must succeed on a DC10 Intelligence saving throw or take a -1 penalty to their attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws, until the start of their next turn. Alignment Damage Chaotic. Evil. Good. Lawful. Damage Resistance & Vulnerability Some creatures are innately more protected from certain damage types whilst others are unusually easy to hurt with them. Resistance and Vulnerability are applied after any other modifiers to the damage. Resistance When a creature takes damage from a damage type they are resistant to, the damage they take is reduced by their resistance value to that damage type. Multiple Sources. If a creature has multiple sources of resistance to the same damage type, the creature uses the highest resistance that applies instead of adding the values together. Vulnerability If a creature or object has vulnerability to a damage type, it takes additional damage equal to the vulnerability value to that damage type whenever it takes damage of that type. Multiple Sources. If a creature has multiple sources of vulnerability to the same damage type, the creature uses the highest vulnerability that applies instead of adding the values together. Massive Damage Some attacks are so brutal or powerful that they shock the system. When a creature takes damage equal to or greater than half their hit point maximum, they must succeed on a DC15 Constitution saving throw or roll on the System Shock table below. System Shock d12 Effect 1 The creature drops to 0 hitpoints. 2-3 The creature drops to 0 hitpoints but is stable. 4-5 The creature is stunned until the end of its next turn. 6-7 The creature can’t take reactions and has disadvantage on any attack rolls and ability checks until the end of its next turn. 8-10 The creature can’t take reactions until the end of its next turn. 11-12 The creature is knocked prone and their speed is reduced to 0 until the end of their next turn. Healing Dropping to 0 Hit Points When you drop to 0 vitality, you either die outright or begin dying (see the Dying section in Part 13: Life & Death) Pg 239 Part 12: Combat

Mortality Knocking a Creature Out Sometimes killing a creature is not an option for the party. Maybe they possess information critical to advancing the adventure. To knock a creature out, a character can declare that they are dealing non-lethal damage when they attack. To make a non-lethal attack, a creature has disadvantage on the attack roll unless the weapon possesses the non-lethal property. Temporary Hit Points Mounted Combat Sometimes creatures will ride into battle on a mount, granting them greater mobility to charge their enemies with. A creature that lacks a rank in the appropriate riding skill for their mount suffers a -2 penalty to all attack rolls and ability checks that require their arms or legs whilst they are mounted. Underwater Combat Whether an adventuring party is battling sahuagin in their underwater lairs or chasing a dragon turtle to its hoard, adventurer’s may find themselves in challenging environments. When making a melee weapon attack, a creature that doesn’t have a swimming speed (either natural or granted by magic) has disadvantage on the attack roll unless the weapon is a dagger, a javelin or a weapon from the spears category. A ranged weapon attack automatically misses a target beyond its normal range. Even against a target that is within normal range, the attack roll has disadvantage unless the weapon is a crossbow or a weapon that is thrown and deals piercing damage. Creatures and objects that are fully submerged in water have resistance to fire damage. A creature that has its speed reduced to 0 and is not otherwise held aloft descends up to 60 feet provided that the water is deep enough.

Mortality Part 12: Resting Breather [Needs Finishing] Short Rests Bandaging Wounds During a short rest, a character may attempt to bandage wounds by making a DC10 Intelligence or Wisdom (Medicine) check per wound. On a success, the wound is closed and the character with the wound no longer suffers any effects from it. Camping Sometimes characters will be caught in the wilderness when they need to rest. In these situations, characters must set up camp in order to properly rest. Setting Up Camp To make camp, each party member must make roll a Camping check - a Strength, Intelligence, or Wisdom (Survival) check - against a target DC The more successes the party has, the more thoroughly prepared the final campsite is making it easier to defend, rest in and perform other activities.

At least one Camping check must use Survival and each alternate skill may only be used by one party member so decide who makes the roll. Camping Equipment If you are attempting to camp without appropriate equipment such as bedrolls or tents, make the Camping check with disadvantage. Certain items like two-person tents can count as camping equipment for multiple creatures. As long as each character in the party has access to a bedroll or a tent then you may roll your Camping check without disadvantage. Pg 244 Part 13: Resting

Mortality Camping Check DC DC Description 10 Safe, dry land is easy to find / the weather is clear. 15 A campsite requires effort to find / there’s bad weather. 20 It’s hard to find a safe campsite / the weather is terrible.

For simplicity, an inn is defined as a building with which you have ready access to food, water, and a bed per person, as well as someone to provide you with a hot meal and restorative. Certain activities require more out of an Inn, but that will be specified within the activity. While staying at an inn, you skip the ‘Make Camp’ and ‘Nominate the Lookout’ steps of camping and go straight to step 3, ‘Perform Camp Activities’. There is a separate list for activities within an Inn. While at an inn, you are considered to be under the effects of ‘Cook A Hot Meal’ as well as ‘Brew A Restorative’, and therefore gain 2 hit dice at the start of your rest assuming that you pay for meals. At the end of your rest, regain 1 unspent hit die if your sleep was undisturbed. Inn Activities Gather Rumours You ask around about any problems in the area that you might be able to help fix.

You lose a number of facts equal to your proficiency bonus plus 1 and can’t perform this activity again for the night. Special. You may attempt this activity as many times as you would like during a rest provided that you have not failed this activity yet. The DC of the Constitution saving throw increases by 5 for each time you attempt this activity after the first. Learn about the Area You have a conversation with one or more of the inn’s patrons. As you talk, you learn some key facts about the area. Perhaps locations, something about the local government, etc. You learn a number of facts equal to your proficiency bonus or you can roleplay you talking to people and learn a number of facts that you learn from roleplaying. Play a Game If you have a gaming set and know the rules, you can play a game to unwind.

Getting Some Sleep Sleeping in an inn still requires a sleeping check however the DC is determined by the conditions in which you are sleeping. When making your sleeping check, consult the Inn Sleeping DC table below. Inn Sleeping DC Room Quality DC Advantage / Disadvantage Wretched 15 Disadvantage unless you have a bedroll Squalid 15 — Poor 10 — Modest 5 — Comfortable 5 — Wealthy 5 Advantage Aristocratic 5 Great Advantage Extended Rests An Extended Rest is a period of extended downtime, at least 1 week long, in which your character performs downtime activities and pursues their own interests. This is your life between adventures—a chance to slow down, explore the setting, and mingle with NPCs in relative safety. Follow the 6 steps below for each week of extended rest. 1) Sell Loot Along your adventures, you’re likely to come across many valuables along your journeys such as gemstones, goblets or fine paintings. At the start of your Extended Rest you may sell these items. 2) Choose Lifestyle Your lifestyle determines the level of comfort you live in during your week and the types of people you'll be Pg 250 Part 13: Resting
