[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 6222214, member: 92305"] [B]-- GET ALONG IN THE WILD --[/B] Survial is an important skill to types of characters in the Hyborian Age. It may not be as important to a Scholar or Temptress, but it's certainly one of the main skills for Barbarians, Borderers, Nomads and can be an important skill for any character that spends a lot of time outside city walls. One of the many uses of the Survival skill is dubbed [B]Get Along in the Wild[/B], where a character can make a base DC 10 Survial check to hunt and forage for food if the character moves overland at half speed. Success on the check removes the need for food and water supplies for the character that day. For every two points by which the check result exceeds the DC, the character can provide food and water for one other person. The GM will modify the base DC to reflect the availabilty of food and water given the terrain and environment. The DC 10 is used for typical wilderness terrain, such as the Pictish Wilds. Look to [B]Hyboria's Fiercest[/B] for further guidlines on hunting and foraging. A GM will want to keep some examples handy when players use their characters' Survival skills in this way in order to convey the atmosphere. So, what exactly are the things Conan would eat and drink while free-foraging in the wild? [B]Quote:[/B] [B]From [I]The Black Stranger[/I], by Robert E. Howard[/B] [I]Conan seated himself at the board, filled a goblet and quaffed it before he answered. "The first wine I've drunk since I left Conawaga, by Crom! Those cursed Eagles (Picts) hunted me so closely through the forest I had hardly time to munch the nuts and roots I found. Sometimes I caught frogs and ate them raw because I dared not light a fire."[/I] The answer: Dew from leaves in the morning. Water from creeks. Wild honey. Roots. Frogs. Snakes. Squirrels. Plants and leaves. Rabbits. Nuts. Wild berries and fruits. Birds and their eggs. Whatever can be found and is edible. The check includes identifying edible plants and roots. Foraging for food like this means the character eats anything that he can find or catch quickly. In the snow, he may have to dig for roots. In the rocky desert, he may need to drain water from cactus. You get the idea. [/QUOTE]
