Make camp limitation

Sun 20 May 2018, 10:43

I was wondering why only one character can make camp? I think it would be appropriate to allow other characters to assist in this activity.

I think that is a rule like in TOR. Of course others can help but only one individual is really responsible. This would bet he same with Scouting, etc. as there is only one person who will do the test and is responsible. Or is it if one role has multiple characters who can do it that they can assist the leading character. Don’t have the rules at hand, sorry.

That's how I interpret it; other PCs can help out but only one makes a roll. The rules don't say this explicitly in the JOURNEYS chapter but the SKILLS chapter lists very little that you can't make cooperation rolls for (combat) so I figure it must be allowed.

But all the other task state that other characters can help, this task doesn’t state this. I would presume the omission is intentional?

I agree that I thought it was odd that only one character could Make Camp. It seems unusual that others can't help so that the roll can be improved.
Part of the description sounds like it is just picking a location for the camp - and that makes sense that just a single PC can make that call. 

But the description includes:
"Finding a good location for a camp, making a fire, and preparing where to SLEEP" (which is shelter building to me). Those duties would be shared by most parties, especially gathering wood and shelter building. 

In addition, it is suggested that this task takes place most often in the Evening - which is Dark in all seasons except Summer. The rest of the party isn't likely out hunting, fishing and foraging in the dark. So everyone would just be sitting around watching the Quartermaster do all the work. It makes sense to me to allow PCs to help Make Camp.
