One more thought though: in an old-school frame of mind… waht about a free 10ft pole or a modern updated version of that terrible joke?

That is a nice way to base a game mechanic on player/DM interaction. Anything that makes us talk to each other is good 😉

Perfect timing for the Yawning Portal release! I’ve just been re-reading Conan stories and it’s amazing how much time a hero supposedly described as a barbarian/pirate/king etc. just gets stuck in some bizarre old ruin from ancient times full of weird crap and deadly traps…

Stonecunning is bad, as a background really shouldn’t use something provided by a racial trait. Giving any ability to work with thieves’ tools was treading on the Criminal background and the Rogue class.

I settled on something that really helps out with exploration, especially for players who haven’t mapped before.
