📋 About This Mod
Simple mod that expands on how you can acquire crafting items and trade goods.
Adds a new ability called "Forage for Supplies" to all custom and origin characters. Once per long rest, you can use this ability to roll a DC10 skill check of your choice (Investigation, Nature, or Survival) and, upon succeeding, receive an amount of random materials.
When receiving the materials you either find a small or large cache. Small caches have 1 item, and large caches have 3. When you reach character level 8, that increases to 2 and 5, respectively.
It takes a few seconds for the item to appear in your inventory. Be patient!
Each skill produces their own items. See the images tab for the full list.
I've included two optional files as well; an Easy and Hard mode. Easy sets the DC to 5 and Hard sets the DC to 15. Only have one of these files active at a time!
COMPATABILITY:
A patch file is available in the downloads for those with addons that modify the "_Hero" starting passives. Leave a comment if you find a mod that needs patching!
