[QUOTE="LordEntrails, post: 7549247, member: 6804070"] So thoughts on the shortcuts/challenges. #1) Nature skills to use? Or maybe athletics check to succeed at swinging between motes? Failure means they slow down, failure by 5 means they take 2d6 damage? Could the Ranger make a check to give advantage to the others on their checks? ("Hey, let me show you how you do this...") Does the party have any flight or teleport abilities they could use to assist? If they don't use them, then they fall behind because they have to travel through the swamp? Could they choose to go through the swamp and use exhaustion to balance out? Also, searching and gathering herbs takes time. So... That would put the party behind right? But it would give them stimulants to overcome exhaustion... Can they decide at any phase to use exhaustion to "catch up"? Probably anytime they fail a stage, give them the choice to use exhaustion to automatically succeed (keep pace). #2) sounds like a traditional 4E skill challenge, they have multiple skills to use and have to succeed 4 or 6 times before X failures. Bluff, intimidate or diplomacy to obtain boats from natives. Nature? to navigate. Athletics to avoid obstacles or pilot. etc. #3) parts of the road could be unstable or unsafe, and as such might need stonecunning or intelligence or perception checks to notice the dangerous parts (or passive perception followed intelligence checks). Maybe Wisdom saves to avoid a curse or to not be deceived by an illusion on the road. Or magic to cause vines/obstacles to part and give way for the party? Or a riddle guardian that has to be appeased with logic and/or tribute or? [/QUOTE]
