Caves and tunnels beneath mountain, hill, swamp and desert. Flora and fungi adapted to darkness, and precious stone in every vein.

Power site theme: earth and smithing (see Themes).

What’s here?

Loading tool …

Set the climate and season where the party is. The tool lists everything that grows here right now, how plentiful it is and where exactly it grows. When a player says what they look for, narrow the list, let them roll the gathering check and type in the result – the tool tells you what they find and how much. Full rules: Foraging.

Printable tables

Prefer real dice? Pick the table for what the party is searching for and roll d100. Common finds take up more of the die than rare ones (Low 4 : Medium 3 : High 2 : Supreme 1). A result that doesn’t fit the climate, season or spot means nothing turns up. DCs and gathering are in Foraging.
