[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 8267957, member: 48965"] Hmm... this is interesting, so it's not that D&D doesn't handle exploration... it's that it doesn't handle it in the way (structured gamification of the process) that you prefer. Okay putting that aside for the moment let's see what 5e does actually address... Gear for exploration Overland Movement Special Movement Types (including climbing, jumping, swimming & crawling) Stealth while traveling Noticing Threats (and the effect of movement on it) Navigating Tracking Foraging Falling Suffocating Vision and Light (including special types of vision) Food (how much needed per day and consequences for not eating enough) Water (how much needed per day and consequences for not drinking enough) Damaging Objects Social Interaction (Including NPC attitudes and how to change them) Resting Damage Types Healing Environmental Effects of the various Planes Random Encounters (With advice they are not all combat based) Hirelings Dungeon Features (Doors & Hazards) Travelling with a Montage Approach Travelling with an Hour by Hour approach Wilderness Features (Monuments, Ruins, Settlements, Strongholds & Weird Locales) Wilderness Survival (Weather, Terrain) Becoming Lost Unusual Environments (UnderWater & The Sea) Traps A section on running Explorations Honestly this is a pretty comprehensive list and is just from the core rulebooks. I get you may have a preference for codification but what is actually lacking here? [/QUOTE]
