[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 236386, member: 232"] Ever tried to make a raft out of branches/small trees and tie it together with vine? Not near as easy as it looks. I tried this in boyscouts. Actually, it was five of us all about 16 years old and a little to much spare time at Boy Scout camp. We never got one made that could support the five of us in perfectly still water. The tools we had were hatchets and knives. The two biggest problems were having it sink from the weight, and having the pieces stay together. However, when has reality ever gotten in the way of what can be done in a role playing game. I'd set the craft DC of 15 for a simple two person raft. With enough time and supplies it should be easily done. The more people the raft needs to support, the higher the DC. Also, the roll to create it (or average number from all the rolls) should be used as break DC. When rough waters are encounter there should be a chance of the raft coming apart. [/QUOTE]
