| A creature with writing supplies can make an accurate map of the dungeon as they traverse it. More challenging cartographic feats, such as creating a map that’s accurate down to the inch or making a map from memory, requires an Intelligence check. If a creature proficient with cartographers’ tools has such tools available, they add their proficiency bonus to the check. The DC to create a map is DC 10, or DC 15 for multi-level or otherwise complex maps. On a success, the creature creates an accurate map. On a failure, the map contains some inaccuracy the creator isn’t aware of. | A creature with writing supplies can make an accurate map of the dungeon as they traverse it.

The DC for this check is DC 10, or DC 15 for a complex route or one they haven’t traveled in the last 24 hours. The check automatically succeeds if the creature has an accurate map, and is made with disadvantage if the creature has an inaccurate map.\\ | A creature can make an Intelligence check to retrace their steps along a route in the dungeon.
