Explorer

Source NPC Core pg. 52
Explorers are often well-equipped and well-trained for any type of hazard and are eager to lead others into the wild.

Crossover Ancestry NPCs

Several of the NPCs elsewhere in NPC Core can fit well in this group: Bleachling survivor (level 2), orc gamekeeper (level 4), tripkee camoufleur (level 2), tripkee scout (level 1), woodland scouts (level 8)

Famed Forests

The Verduran Forest is the largest woodland on the continent of Avistan; the druids and rangers of the Wildwood Lodge earned the forest great autonomy through a thousand-year treaty. The Forest of Spirits stretches over a thousand miles of Tian Xia and is the primeval birthplace of the nature spirits known as kami. The Fangwood in Nirmathas and the Gravelands is home to Crystalhurst, a village of druids who fought the terrible Darkblight that devastated the 7,000-year-old fey court who once guarded the wood. The Fierani Forest covers the majority of the elven nation Kyonin.

Foraging for Fun and Fortune

For some, variety is the spice of life, as long as you're certain of the plant you've just plucked. In lieu of finding manufactured treasure in a natural setting, a GM might allow for certain herbs, flowers, and vegetables discovered in the wild to act as level 1 alchemical elixirs. For instance, the white flowers known as fairycups have a spicy flavor when nibbled on, granting the benefits of a lesser cheetah's elixir. A nutritious knotted longbean restores health like a minor elixir of life. Such foraged items last only 24 hours after being plucked and can't be sold.

Knowledge Exploration

While Survival and Nature are crucial skills for any explorer, various Lore skills can also prove useful for any NPC adventuring in the wilderness and can be easily swapped to make the skill set more applicable.

Tips From The Guide

For the Follow the Expert exploration activity, an explorer is considered an expert from levels 1–6, a master from levels 7–14, and legendary from levels 15 or higher. You might allow PCs who Follow the Expert when led by an explorer to continue to add their level to the skill check for some time afterward: 1 hour if the explorer is an expert, 1 day for master, or 1 week for legendary. A character can have this benefit for only one skill at a time.
