[QUOTE="billd91, post: 7625584, member: 3400"] This kind of position generally irritates me. 5e is designed to facilitate rulings rather than fuss too much about RAW vs house rules. That may make for a lot of table variation, but that's fine as far as I'm concerned. As long as the DM isn't giving away a benefit that's reliably better than the ranger's, everything should be fine. For the OP, I'd rely on a Wisdom (Survival) check for most of it. If multiple PCs are looking into it and have complimentary skills here - such as one with a good Wisdom (Survival) and one with good Intelligence (Nature), I'd have them make a check for both. I'd be setting the DCs based on the type of creature, how common it is, how big it is, what kind of injury, and what sort of numbers are involved. If it's reasonably common, type will be Easy, bleeding or significant mobility injury Moderate, number of creatures (if more than just 1 or 2) Hard.
