The campfire crackles, the bard is snoring loudly, and it's your turn on watch. Your eyelids are heavy, and the shadows seem to be moving. Fear not, adventurer! Here are 5 tips to keep your perception checks high.
1. The "Action Surge" Brew
Obviously, our signature blend is your best friend here. Brew it strong. If you can see sounds, you've made it correctly.
2. Splash Cold Water (or Ice Breath)
A quick splash from a canteen—or a friendly cantrip from your wizard—can do wonders.
3. Sharpen Your Weapons
The rhythmic sound of a whetstone is meditative but keeps the hands busy. Plus, you'll be ready if goblins ambush.
4. Review Your Spellbook
Nothing keeps the mind sharp like memorizing complex arcane formulas. Just don't read the Sleep spell by accident.
5. Snack on Rations
Keep your metabolism up. Dried meat and hardtack aren't gourmet, but they keep the engine running.
