Food, Water & Fatigue
Carry rations and waterskins. Rest at inns or camp sites to recover fatigue. Some spells and skills reduce travel strain.
Light & Darkness
Torches and lanterns reveal hidden details and reduce ambush risk. Magical light lasts longer and frees a hand.
Navigation & Mapping
Rooms connect by exits; landmarks and signposts help. Use scan and read room text carefully. Many dungeons loop or hide secret doors.
Traps & Environmental Hazards
Perception, detect traps, or a cautious rogue can prevent disaster. Conditions like cold, heat, and poison require preparation.
