[QUOTE="Emberashh, post: 8967816, member: 7040941"] Well the fun part is is that hex crawls aren't actually included in the rules of exploration either, and as noted earlier Ive long since rewritten the entire class itself. (And as one might guess from 1DND Ranger being a deal breaker for me, naturally Im also very big on hex crawls) So we're both addressing (or rather, I addressed, as I dont play 5e anymore) the issue from both ends, and the contention comes from how we approached it. I think not addressing the Getting Lost rules is a bigger mechanical problem than what Natural Explorer does or doesn't do well, and as far as I can tell by your posts, you haven't actually addressed it yourself and are instead embracing a less functional interpretation that doesn't mesh with the Hex Crawls you're running.
