Endurance (4E)

4th Edition Dungeons & Dragons

House rules

Extended Activity

The Player's Handbook mentions there are rules for this in the Dungeon Master's Guide, but in point of fact these rules do not exist.

Normal non-combat activity assumes a character can perform one action a round for 10 hours a day. This includes such things as marching eight hours, working eight hours, and so on. But sometimes, characters want to exceed these limits for longer periods; either to work more than eight hours in a day, or to perform more than one activity each round. Examples include marching and scouting or marching and sustaining a power.

Extended Activity:
Modifiers

Three actions each round	-10

• Coordinated Extended Actions: A group can assist each other at this task. Each member makes an Endurance check; the high roller's check result is used, others can assist. There is a -2 penalty for each member of the team.
• Try Again: It is possible to keep going even after the time is up, but everyone who does so must spend a healing surge. This allows another check for extended activity. A character without any remaining healing checks cannot participate in extended activity.
