[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 7910240, member: 63508"] The DMG gives basic examples of wilderness hazards like ice and water. But in the worlds of D&D, you might see some sorts of supernatural hazards. Floating bodies of water. Wild animals acting strangely due to magical auras, diseases, or spells. The signs of monster lairs and where to go to avoid them. Knowledege of the local fey courts or elemental councils. Supernatural weather localized to same areas. Large packs of animals. Rangers have 3 choices of Insight, Investigation, Insight, Nature, Medicine, Survival, terrain and enemy bonuses to them, and access to a few nature and arcane spells.
