But imo exploration should not follow an encounter design like combat. Exploration on its most basic level is getting from A to B and you do not know exactly where (or what) B is and how the way there looks like. The dangers you face during exploration need to be constant (see above) and not limited to an encounter with a defined start and finish.So the wizard spending actual resources on something is worse than a thief rolling a skill check?Just stop with the MMO design where gold is available in unlimited quantities for miscellaneous spending and you are guaranteed to get equipment upgrades and apply some basic economy where PCs cant instantly buy everything everywhere and the wizard blowing money to open locks actually becomes a strategic decision.In all of those environments you have the same problems. How to find shelter, how to find food and water, how to carry around your possessions safely, how to deal with the locals, etc.</blockquote>
