Quick question about overland travel.
Normally, a party moves 1 MPH per 10' of movement speed. So, a bunch of unarmored humans cover 3 MPH, thus in an 8 hour day they cover 24 miles.
Let's say that they're using a trail in the hills. The DMG table says that cuts daily travel to 3/4 normal. Ok, easy enough, they now cover 18 miles in the day.
Now, what if they are moving at half speed, using the Survival skill to forage for food? Do they cover 12 miles (applying only the worst modifer) or 9 miles (stacking the unfavorable modifiers)?
What if they are also moving at half speed to gain bonuses to FORT saves vs. weather (also with the survival skill)? Do they halve their distance again?
What if the ranger with survival skills is mounted and moves at 60' -- can he move at half speed while the party trudges on at 30', thus effectively providing the food and bonuses to saves without slowing the party's progress?
Thanks for the clarification.
