Survival Lore

From Amar RPG

Survival Lore

This skill covers the gathering of food such as herbs and small animals without special equipment. It also covers such things as making a fire, provide cover for the night, etc. It does not cover hunting with weapons. It does include fishing. If you want to survive in the wilderness, you hunt and you use your survival lore. One roll is made every day. If successful, a day’s ration is found. An unsuccessful roll means no food that day. You get an extra day’s ration per 5 above the DR. The difficulty rating for the various terrains are:
