That distance is halved in difficult terrain, such as forest or swamp. A creature can travel a number of hours each day equal to his Con bonus; traveling for a longer time counts as a forced march and forces Con saves.My response is: really?So, your typical person--your average 10 con yeoman--can travel for 1 mile in the forest before suffering exhaustion. 1 mile. Your mightiest barbarian would get winded on a short hike at a scenic rest stop. This seems... wrong. It makes the benchmark for wilderness travel--the Fellowship's trek--an impossible task. Can you imagine? Having to camp while still being able to hear the songs in Rivendell? Mounts aren't mentioned; I assume they follow the same rules. So, don't ride your horse more than two hours.Really?EDIT: not really. The rule is you can explore for a number of hours equal to your Con SCORE, not Con modifier. I had misread the rule.</blockquote>
