Oftentimes, during your journey through the Sword Coast, your party may make automatic Perception checks. If any of them pass, you could spot hidden treasures or interesting places.
Perception can also reveal Rocky Crevices and Burrow Holes. These are entrances to hidden caves and tunnels, which could hide some interesting rewards. Actually using such an entrance could be problematic. On this page, you'll learn how to do it.
Rocky Crevices
Rocky Crevices are natural formations leading to hidden locations. Finding such a place lets you try and slip through.
Unfortunately, most of the races in Faerun are too large to fit such small crevices. There are a few ways to get through.
- Halflings and Gnomes are small inside to use Rocky Crevices without any issues.
- Many spellcasters, such as Wizards, Warlocks, Bards and Sorcerers, can learn the Disguise Self spell. This lets them disguise themselves as any other race. If they take the form of a small race, they can squeeze through the crevice.
- Druids can also Wild Shape into small animals (like cats) to fit in.
- Some other useful spells are Enlarge/Reduce and Gaseous Form. Both change the target's form, letting them fit through the crevices.
WARNING! These methods usually won't get your entire party through the crevices. Watch out on the other side, as a lone character is easy pickings for enemies.
Burrow Holes
Burrow Holes are similar to Rocky Crevices. They're even smaller and even tougher to fit through. There are still a few tricks you can use though.
- Though small, Gnomes and Halflings are still too large to fit in Burrow Holes. You need to make them even smaller by casting Enlarge/Reduce. If you don't have any in your party, you can cast Disguise Self to turn into one, then shrink yourself with Reduce.
- The Druid's cat form is small enough to fit through the hole.
- Gaseous Form will also let you get through.
If none of your characters know the Enlarge/Reduce or Gaseous Form spells, these can often be purchased as consumable scrolls or potions.
