Travel

Travel: Pace

Characters traveling on foot, on a mount, or aboard a land vehicle move at the same travel pace, choosing between a slow, normal, or fast pace:

Type Travel Pace Effect
Slow 200 ft/min, 2 mi/hr, 18 mi/day Able to use stealth
Normal 300 ft/min, 3 mi/hr, 24 mi/day –
Fast 400 ft/min, 4 mi/hr, 30 mi/day −5 penalty to passive Wisdom (Perception)

Terrain affects your travel pace:

Bad weather such as heavy rains, blizzards, or hurricane winds can slow your travel pace even further.

For each additional hour of travel beyond 8 hours, a character must make a Constitution saving throw at the end of the hour. The DC is 10 + 1 for each hour past 8 hours. On a failed saving throw, the character suffers one level of exhaustion

A mounted character can ride at a gallop for up to one hour, covering 8 miles.

Characters traveling in waterborne vehicles travel at the pace of that vehicle. Depending on the vehicle and its crew, it may be possible to travel for 24 hours a day.

Characters traveling using motorized vehicles, magic, or flying mounts travel at a pace that depends on the speed of the motorized vehicle, magical effect, or flying mount:

Speed Slow Travel Pace Normal Travel Pace Fast Travel Pace

Travel: Tack

Barding is armor designed to protect an animal’s head, neck, chest, and body. Any type of armor can be made as barding, but it costs and weighs more. A military saddle gives you advantage on any check you make to remain mounted. An exotic saddle is required for riding any aquatic or flying mount.

Saddlebags 4 gp 8 lb
Pack saddle 5 gp 15 lb
Riding saddle 10 gp 25 lb

Sled Large 20 gp 300 lb
Wagon Huge 35 gp 400 lb
Carriage Huge 100 gp 600 lb

Travel: Waterborne Vehicles

The speed of a waterborne vehicle depends on the speed and direction of the water current. A typical water current speed is about 3 mph. Add the speed of the water current to the vehicle’s speed while taking the directions into account to determine the vehicle’s net speed. If a vehicle is using sails, its listed speed assumes there is a decent breeze and that the vehicle is sailing with the wind; sailing into the wind is much slower.

Waterborne Vehicle Capacity Propulsion Speed Cost
Canoe 2 crew, 200 lb cargo Paddles 1½ mph 30 gp
Rowboat 2 crew, 2 passengers, 400 lb cargo Oars 1½ mph 50 gp

Hirelings

Some hirelings might require a minimum of several days or even weeks of pay for a given job, and might ask for some or all of their pay up front. Furthermore, danger implies higher pay: if there is a possibility of combat or similar hazard, hirelings generally require double pay, and hirelings outright refuse to go on suicide missions.
