<p>While mundane and magical research are paramount to the planning stages
|
||||
of any expedition, the ultimate prize in dungeon research is undoubtedly a
|
||||
dungeon guide. Each of these valuable books is about a different dungeon
|
||||
of either wide-spread or local fame, and contains all manner of convoluted
|
||||
hints and ideas about its supposed locale-sometimes even maps. A
|
||||
dungeoneering group in possession of such a rare and unusual boon has a
|
||||
much better chance of seeing the light of day once again after its
|
||||
expedition.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Vast dungeons, megalithic towers, and submerged tombs are the focus of
|
||||
generations of scholarship and research. Any number of books have been
|
||||
written about these forsaken places-most, it must be said, scribed by
|
||||
sages who haven't been within a hundred miles of the sites in question.
|
||||
After all, few adventurers have the time or inclination to write scholarly
|
||||
tomes about their experiences, so it falls to researchers and chroniclers
|
||||
to piece together dungeon guides. To do so, they draw on books of lore and
|
||||
accounts of dungeons before the sites became the abodes of monsters, scour
|
||||
the diaries and reminiscences of retired adventurers, consult extraplanar
|
||||
intelligences, and fill in the gaps with wild guesswork.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Dungeon guides vary in their reliability. Some read like tour guides of
|
||||
famous dungeons, dwelling on gory tales of monsters and exaggerated claims
|
||||
about treasure. Others are obsessive collections of picayune details, with
|
||||
hundreds of pages on honored animal cremation rituals or <em>gnome</em>
|
||||
pottery. Truly reliable guides are extremely rare, and some dungeon guides
|
||||
have become legends in their own right.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A dungeon guide serves two functions. First, adventurers can consult it
|
||||
to obtain information regarding specific areas of the dungeon. Second, a
|
||||
dungeon guide can provide its reader bonuses on up to three skill checks.
|
||||
Anyone can consult the guide for information on the dungeon, but only
|
||||
readers who possess ranks in the skill associated with the text can
|
||||
benefit from the guide's skill bonuses.</p>
