Terrain Penalties: Outdoor Survival
(OS) is referred to once again, and once again the rules are listed
anyway. We questioned this the first time we read the rules, and
recall it often when the criticism you need other rules to run it
is levied against these rules.
In truth the pertinent information is usually included. We wonder if
perhaps Gygax was encouraging readers to use the resources listed (or
ones like them) to come up with their own rules.
Rest: dragons
apparently wear themselves out flying. If their appetite matches
their weariness (referee voice: heh-heh) then the surrounding
countryside is in for it. A mob may come looking for the dragon’s
rider to address restitution.
Scale: 5 miles per hex is official but many
referees, ourselves included, switched to 6 miles per hex to be
easier to divide into movement rates.
Turn: further obfuscating the usage of turn
we have a wilderness turn being equal to a day.
