Hey People,
When I made William, with his Mapmaking skills, I hadn't really fleshed it out yet....but as I start my first adventure with him I was wondering if I could get it set up.
There are two main things I was wondering if I could get addressed.
1.What would it take to get a region added as "Explored"?
To me the easiest way to do this would be to do a Knowledge(Geography) Skill check with a DC at least 15(higher if there is indistinguishable terrain, or veiwing conditions) to see if a person made legible enough and consise enough notes to be able to make a map of the region.
2.How the Mechanics for Craft(Mapmaking) work?
Greyman gave a preety good suggestion for it
I dunno what getting lost will mean, but I could also see the map used for say, to grant a person temp ranks in Knowledge(Geography) for the area of the map.

thegreyman said:If your looking for mechanics for mapmaking, start a proposal thread on the core page of LEW. Possibly start with some mechanics like DC (15/20/25) for maps for different terrains. On a successful check, the map gives +2 on Survival checks for that area. On a failed check, you can retry with additional time spent. Failed by 5 (or 10) or more, and the map is horrible and gets whoever uses it lost. Maybe set up some prices for selling them based on the range of area covered.
