Building a campsite

Campsite Tiers

Campsites can range from a simple fire and cooking pot huddled beneath the shadow of a hillside to a small mobile settlement with makeshift defensible walls and multiple shelters within. To build a campsite, characters decide on the tier of site they want to build and spend materials, as noted in the following table. After spending materials, characters make a group INT test using appropriate skills to contribute to building the site. On a failure, the characters may still build a campsite two tiers lower than the tier they attempted (minimum of tier 1).

tier	difficulty	materials required
1	0	2 Common Materials
2	2	3 Common Materials
3	3	4 Common Materials, 2 Uncommon Materials
4	4	5 Common Materials, 3 Uncommon Materials
5	5	6 Common Materials, 4 Uncommon Materials, 2 Rare Materials
6	6	7 Common Materials, 5 Uncommon Materials, 3 Rare Materials

Campsite Features

Finished campsites have a number of features equal to their Tier, plus one extra for every 3 AP they spend after resolving the test. When they finish building, the characters choose which features to include in their campsite. Features include the following:

feature	description
Campfire	Provides warmth to help protect characters from cold exposure for short periods.
Shelter	Provides shelter to protect characters from weather hazards. When combined with a campfire or heat source, warm shelters allow characters to sleep, rest, and recover from Fatigue gained from cold exposure.
Comfortable Bedding	Bedrolls or makeshift cots provide better rest. Characters who sleep on them wake up well rested and gain +2 Maximum HP until they sleep again.
Cooking Station	Provides a temporary cooking station with an open flame and tools necessary to craft food and beverages.
Alarmed Site	Anyone attempting to enter the camp must make an AGI test with a difficulty equal to your campsite’s tier or set off an alarm that alerts you to their presence.
Cleaned Site	The surrounding area has been cleared of any sources of disease or poison, and irradiated spots are marked so characters can easily avoid them.
Concealed Site	The campsite has been disguised, making it harder to spot. Survival checks to track characters to the site increase their difficulty by 2. When the GM rolls on the Campsite Visitors table (p.36), they roll twice and use the lowest result.
Defensible Site	The site has makeshift walls and other structures built to provide optimal cover from attacks. While making use of your defenses, characters gain 2DC cover. This feature may be chosen multiple times, increasing cover by 1DC (to a maximum of 4) for each instance after the first.

Campsite Visitors

Roll:

N o m a t c h i n g c o m p l i c a t i o n f o u n d

D20 roll	visitor type
1-10	It is just you and the frigid wind out here tonight. Stay warm and sleep tight.
11-12	Someone spots a hooded stranger nearby, wandering close to camp. They appear to be searching for something—or someone.
13	A starving Super Mutant arrives and demands food. Whatever their meat preference might be, they might be bargained with.
14	A trader approaches the campsite looking for a bit of shelter and safety. They carry a handful of goods with them and may be willing to trade the party something they need.
15	A mysterious stranger—secretly a synth— from a nearby settlement comes seeking shelter. They are cautious and withdrawn unless they identify another synth in the party.
16	A small band of raiders are fleeing an environmental hazard or monstrous threat. They approach the campsite warily.
17	A small horde of ghouls roam close to camp but have not noticed the party. Yet. They may move past the camp if their attention isn’t drawn to the party.
18	A family of refugees finds the campsite, bringing with them a bundle of supplies and caps. They are lost, moving from their old home to a new location, and seek the party’s help.
19-20	Camp is quiet and uneventful until there resounds a loud bang and crash in the distance. Afterward, the air is still and deadly silent. Something is out there.
