[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 7399152, member: 48965"] I honestly believe 95% of the things we discuss on this board are a matter of preference vs. some objectively quantifiable value of good or bad... irregardless of how much we try to present it that way. Well I don't think you should "insist" on anything when it comes to the characters actions, I think you should leave it up to them what they do in the span of a day of travel. As to why some of these may not be necessary on specific days vs. others... well because they're not travelling across identical terrain for seven days straight. As an example maybe for the first two days the PC's follow a road or river so rolling to make sure they don't get lost is unnecessary. Perhaps on the fourth day they come upon a roadside inn... so no need to search for food or shelter... In other words the fiction around them should inform what they are rolling for. Again I'm not saying they "should" make 5-10 rolls daily... but I'm also not saying they shouldn't. I'm advocating for the narrative & fiction as well as DM and player choices to inform how many rolls they will make as well as the difficulty of said rolls. Don't get me wrong I understand the appeal that a static N checks at difficulties of X, Y & Z could hold for others but for me SC's aren't better than the tools I have for most challenges like this...
