[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 8166743, member: 63508"] One thing D&D and almost all it's clones did poorly is exploration past level 4 or so. It's always just more powerful traps and more elaborate descriptions. But without the challenges, the flavor text is meaningless in the game. This is especially true for wilderness and urban exploration challenges. Ironically 4e handled it best as the skill challenge system could easily be dragged up and down the scale with bigger numbers. But D&D really doesn't answer the question of "What trips up the archmage, master thief, greatest swordsman, one of the 3 high heirophants, and grand champion of the Northern Horde on the way to slay the dark lich?" expect with BiGgeR TrAPs!. I am happy the A5E team is looking into higher tier exploration and exploration systems in general. I like the idea of exploration challenges and supplies.. I would have loved for an example of a higher tier exploration challenge. [/QUOTE]
