==House Rules==
===Food and Drink===
PCs need to consume two pounds of food and eight pounds of water (one gallon) per day. All mounts, horse or mule, need to consume 10 pounds of food and 40 pounds of water (5 gallons) per day.

Purchased food comes in two forms: standard rations and iron rations. Standard rations last for three days in the wilderness, one day underground. Iron rations last for 30 days in the wilderness, 10 days underground.

Every day a PC eats Foraged food or Iron Rations, there is a small chance they get Sick. Consecutive days of that type of food will increase the chance.
*On days 1-3, no check
*On days 4-7, the PC needs to pass a DC 5 Constitution save
*On days 8+, the PC needs to pass a DC 10 Con save

PCs eating raw Foraged meat need to pass a DC 15 Con save or become Sick. PCs eating raw fish need to pass a DC 5 Con save or become Sick.

Every day a retainer or hireling eats Foraged food or Iron Rations, there is a small chance their Loyalty decreases by 1. Consecutive days of that type of food will increase the chance.
*1% chance on day 1
*2% chance on day 2
*4% chance on day 3
*8% chance on day 4
*16% chance on day 5
*32% chance on day 6+

===Sickness===
A PC who is Sick suffers one level of Exhaustion.

Once a PC is Sick, the DM rolls 1d4 to determine number of days sick.

A PC with a Healer’s Kit can make a Wisdom (Medicine) check to reduce the duration of a Sick PC.  Whether successful or not, making the check counts as one use of the Kit.  A successful check means that the PC is no longer Sick after the next Long Rest.

===Weather===
Heat:
Whenever the temperature is 80-99 degrees F, PCs exposed to the heat must drink double the normal amount of water per day (two gallons instead of one). After one hour of not drinking water, PCs must make Con saving throws as per the Extreme Heat rule (see below).

Extreme Heat:
When the temperature is at or above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, PCs exposed to the heat, even if drinking double rations of water, must succeed on a Con saving throw at the end of each hour or gain one level of exhaustion. The DC is 5 for the first hour and increases by 1 for each additional hour. PCs wearing medium or heavy armor, or who are clad in heavy clothing, have disadvantage on the saving throw. Not drinking double rations of water in Extreme Heat causes an automatic gain of one level of Exhaustion every four hours.

Cold:
Whenever the temperature is 33-59 degrees F, PCs exposed to the cold must succeed on a DC 10 Con saving throw at the end of each hour or gain one level of exhaustion. PCs wearing cold weather gear (thick coats, gloves, and the like) or sleeping in bedrolls automatically succeed on the saving throw.

Extreme Cold:
Whenever the temperature is at or below 32 degrees F, a creature exposed to the cold must succeed on a DC 20 Con saving throw at the end of each hour or gain one level of exhaustion. PCs wearing cold weather gear or sleeping in bedrolls must succeed on a DC 10 Con saving throw at the end of each hour. PCs in a bedroll and in a tent/shelter automatically succeed on the saving throw.

Precipitation:
If the weather is Cold and it’s raining or snowing, PCs must succeed on a DC 5 Con saving throw at the end of each four hour period or gain one level of Exhaustion. If the PC is not wearing cold weather gear, they have disadvantage on the saving throw.

If a PC attempts a Long Rest in the rain without a tent/shelter, they regain only one quarter of their spent Hit Dice (minimum of one die). If they have any levels of Exhaustion, the rest doesn’t reduce their Exhaustion level.

===Resting and Sleep===
====Long Rests====
PCs need to take one long rest per 24-hour day.

At the end of a long rest in the wilderness, expended class abilities are not restored automatically. Instead, each player rolls 2d6:
*2-5: None of the character’s expended abilities are restored.
*6-8: Half of the character’s expended abilities are restored.
*9-10: Three quarters of the character’s expended abilities are restored.
*11-12: All the character’s expended abilities are restored.

Expended abilities include number of spell slots used, number of rages used, number of invocations used, number of Action Surges used, and so on. Round down if required. The player decides which abilities are recovered.

At the end of every 24-hour period, if a PC has failed to take a long rest, they must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution save or suffer one level of Exhaustion. Subsequent 24-hour periods without a long rest increase the DC by 5 per day.

Sleeping in light armor has no adverse effect on the wearer; sleeping in medium or heavy armor makes it difficult to recover fully during a long rest.

When a PC finishes a long rest while sleeping in medium or heavy armor, they regain only one quarter of their spent Hit Dice (minimum of one die). If they have any levels of Exhaustion, the rest doesn’t reduce their Exhaustion level.

====Short Rests====
PCs cannot recover hit points at the end of a short rest without expending one use of a Healer’s Kit.

===Movement and other Actions===
Making the assumptions that:
*The travel day is eight hours (9 AM to 5 PM)
*The party is moving at Normal Travel Pace

Each PC gets 24 Movement Points (MP) per day. 

3 MP = 3 miles = 1 hour

PCs can spend MP in the following ways:
*Foraging in place – Spend 3 MP to forage for one hour, within a one mile sub-hex
*Foraging while moving – Spend 1 MP to move one mile and forage as you go
*Hunting – Spend 3 MP to hunt for one hour, within a one mile sub-hex
*Fishing – Spend 3 MP to fish for one hour
*Map Making – Spend 1 MP to move one mile and draw a map of the party’s travels
*Make Camp – Spend 1 MP to find a suitable campsite to camp for the night
*Moving – Spend 1 MP to move one mile and watch for hidden threats.
*Navigating – Spend 1 MP to move one mile and direct the party toward their chosen destination
*Pathfinding – Spend 1 MP to move 1/2 mile and blaze a trail for the party
*Scouting – Spend 3 MP to reveal any hidden features within a one mile sub-hex
*Tracking – Spend 1 MP to find a trail to track

====Descriptions of MP actions====
*'''Foraging in place''' allows a PC to roam within a one mile sub-hex, looking for sources of food and water. Use the DCs from the DMG. Foraging in place gives a small chance of finding rare plants or herbs.
*'''Foraging''' while moving allows a PC to look for food and water while moving. Use the DCs from the DMG but add a +10 modifier. Foraging while moving gives a very small chance of finding rare plants or herbs.
*'''Hunting''' allows a PC to roam within a one mile sub-hex, either hunting or trapping small to medium sized game. The PC makes a DC 15 Wisdom (Survival) check to see if they succeed. Any meat that is eaten raw gives a high chance of becoming Sick (see Food & Drink). Cooked meat served with foraged vegetables is treated as Standard Rations. Any meat not immediately cooked is considered Spoiled as of the next day and must be discarded. Any PC eating Spoiled meat is guaranteed to get Sick and must pass a DC 25 Con check or become Diseased (use Sewer Plague).
*'''Fishing''' allows a PC to fish in any river, pond, or lake. It requires fishing tackle. The PC makes a DC 15 Wisdom (Survival) check to see if they succeed. Any fish that is eaten raw gives a small chance of becoming Sick. Cooked fish served with foraged vegetables is treated as Standard Rations. Any fish not immediately cooked is considered Spoiled as of the next day and must be discarded. Any PC eating Spoiled fish is guaranteed to get Sick and may also contract a disease.
*'''Map Making''' - As per the standard 5e rules.  See Movement: Activity While Traveling.  No check is required.  If at least one PC makes a map, the DM will update the six mile hex map.
*'''Making Camp''' – During Spring, Summer, or Fall season, there is enough daylight outside of the normal travel day to find a campsite without spending MP. Only in Winter, when the daylight hours are short, does a PC need to spend MP to find one. If a PC spends one MP to Make Camp, they have a chance to find an exceptional campsite (which usually affords the party against inclement weather and/or wandering monsters).
*'''Moving''' - The PC is contributing their passive Perception to the group's chances of noticing any hidden threats.
*'''Navigating''' – As per the standard 5e rules.  The character can try to prevent the group from becoming lost, making a Wisdom (Survival) check when the DM calls for it.
*'''Pathfinding''' – The PC moves more slowly but marks the path that the party is taking. The Pathfinder does this by carving glyphs into trees, stacking small rocks on top of each other, noting obvious landmarks, etc… Once a path is marked, as long as the marks aren’t tampered with, the party can follow the path and not get lost.  If at least one PC is Pathfinding, the DM will supply a one mile sub hex map for the party.
*'''Scouting''' – The PC explores a one mile sub hex, looking for lairs, secret entrances, game trails, etc. There are 25 one mile sub-hexes within a six mile hex, but completely Scouting a six mile hex requires 72 MP, or three days. There are obscure features in some hexes that will only be discovered by Scouting. If at least one PC is Scouting, the DM will provide a one mile sub hex map for the party.
*'''Tracking''' – As per the standard 5e rules.  A character can follow the tracks of another creature, making a Wisdom (Survival) check when the DM calls for it.
