[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9042866, member: 7030563"] When I played Tomb of Annihilation we were not prepared for the difficult navigation checks to keep from getting lost, and although we hired guides, they were not any good at navigating either. As a result we spent the first 3 levels lost most of the time. It was actually starting to get tedious - spend 4 days lost in the jungle, fighting wandering monsters, then you finally figure out where you are and it is the same place you were 5 days ago before you got lost. As a party we talked about how to fix this and what we were going to do during an off week and then one of the players noted [I]"Rangers are never lost in favored terrain"[/I]. My Rogue 2-Hexblade 1 was the only PC with the ability scores high enough to multiclass (actually tripleclass) to Ranger, others had Dex or Wisdom but not both. I had the requisite Dex and Wisdom (barely) and Charisma. I got a Ranger level, we never got lost in that campaign again. Totally fun, and totally unexpected when I made my character. If it were not for the 5E rules the DM would have had to unwind or alter the campaign, which I am sure he would have done, but this made us feel a lot better about it since we solved it. [/QUOTE]
