Fishing

A successful Fishing check means that you catch edible fish or other aquatic creatures. The size of the catch depends on the surroundings and the method (you can catch more fish faster with nets and weirs than with fish hooks and bait).

Check: DEX/AGI/CON
Applications: Saltwater Animals, Freshwater Animals, Water Monsters
Encumbrance: yes (spearfishing) or no (fishing with weirs, nets, or hooks)
Tools: net, weir, spear, fishing line with hook
Quality: the fish are tastier than the average catch.
Failed Check: the fish don’t bite, or avoid the net.
Critical Success: the number of rations obtained is very high. For QL, competitive checks, and cumulative checks, SP = 2xSR.
Botch: the fisher falls into the water and loses some fishing equipment.
Improvement Cost: A

• Catch fish for a day to fry them over the campfire in the evening — 1 QL = 1 ration, QL x 3 if using a net or weir
