**(Distracting, Focused)** Intelligence (Navigator's tools) or Wisdom (Survival) Find your way towards a specific location. --- More often than not, a location of interest for a group of adventurers is not situated along a well trodden path, but hidden in the wilds behind obscure hints and directions. If you wish to find your way through the wilds towards a specific location, you need to make a navigation check against the Navigation DC. The Navigation DC is additionally modified by the information you possess to reach your destination: Navigation DC Modifier |Detail of information|DC| |---|---| |Detailed map with travel hints|-5| |Outdated or simple map|0| |Crude Map or general directions _(e.g. 40 <br>  miles north-west, near a small lake)_|+5| |Obscure information _(e.g. follow the <br>  rising sun for 2 moons as the owl flies)_|+1| If you navigation check fails by less than 5, you still travel towards your target, but not in the most direct way. Your travel speed is halved (rounded down) for this travel leg. If your navigation check fails by 5 or more, you have made a mistake. Your travel speed is halved (rounded down) for this travel leg, however, you move _away_ from your location. If you rolled a total of 5 or lower, you got lost. Depending on the nature of your surroundings, getting lost might entail additional complications and dangers. ### Navigator's Tools Proficiency with [navigator's tools](https://5e.tools/items.html#navigator's%20tools_phb) helps you determine a true course based on observing the stars.
