[QUOTE="howandwhy99, post: 5928493, member: 3192"] I know some play styles balance abilities assuming a delve adventure format, meaning characters typically traverse via wilderness between town (believed safety) and a dungeon (believed danger). In order to support the longer, exploration phase of adventuring I thought some of the elements missing from B2 might be useful. These are not reprints, but are pretty close. Feel free to use them only if you desire wilderness exploration and don't have the actual materials on hand.
