Camaraderie: Lift everyone’s spirits. Check Parley (CHA).  Success: Restore HP equal to your Effort to one ally. With Effort 10+, choose to remove one Affliction Point from that ally.  Failure: Spends an additional Supply. Camping Actions: Each character can choose ONE primary action during camp. If multiple players want to do the same thing, they designate a lead and helpers as per the Assistance rules. Camping Procedure: A group of professional adventurers knows when to cut and run, but they also know when they need to make camp. Camping is a tactical choice. It's an opportunity for a Short or Camp Rest, but it is never without risk. 1. Declare Actions: When the party decides to make camp, each player character must choose one primary action for the duration of the camp. Each action can have only one lead character making the check - but others can provide Assistance. It is assumed that the point of Camping is to take a Camp Rest (8 hours). 2. Make a Supply Check: The GM calls for a Supply Check, as per the rules. A successful check means the party has enough food and other basic needs met. 3. Resolve Actions: Each player performs their declared action. The effectiveness of each action is determined by a Skill Check, with the roll's Effort defining the degree of success. 4. Encounter Check: After actions are resolved, the GM rolls a die for the Encounter Countdown. Camping can be dangerous! 5. Rest & Recovery: After all checks and encounters are resolved, characters gain the benefits of their rest, as per the Rest & Recovery rules:  Roll Resilience to recover Effort worth of HP  Recover all Mana  Recover 1 Hit Die  If you’re at full HP, roll Resilience to recover 1 Wound Foraging: Find food, water, or other natural resources. Check Bushcraft (WIS).  Success: Gain 1 Supply for the party, plus an additional Supply for every 5 Effort you rolled. The GM may decide that the character finds a specific item, such as an edible herb that can be used for a Healing Check, or special berries that can act as an antidote.1  Failure: The character spends 1 (additional) Supply. Healing: Provide medical care. Make a Healing (INT) check.  Success (Healing): Restore HP equal to the Effort rolled on the check. This does not count as a Healing Check for the purposes of the "once per day" rule.  Failure: The character spends an additional Supply. Lookout: Keeps watch for threats. Check Assess (INT).  Success: Reduce the impact of the Event Countdown. Subtract your Effort from the die roll the GM makes for the encounter check.  Failure: If there is an encounter, you will automatically be surprised. Repair: Mend broken gear. Check Tinkering (INT).  Success: Repair one broken or damaged item. If Effort 10+, also restore 1 point of Armor Rating to one suit of armor.  Failure: The character spends an additional Supply.
