Two Foraging Q:

[Stanley Burrell]

I wasn't sure whether to post this in the mechanics folder or not, my bad otherwise:

DOES KNEELING HELP ME FIND SHIT QUICKER?

Also -- Two open hands > one?

Thank you

[CrystalTears]

Yes kneeling helps, along with having two open hands.

[Stanley Burrell]

Muchas gracias.

[CrystalTears]

De nalgas.

Although I will note that if you're playing a halfing or gnome, the kneeling isn't as necessary, seeing as those races are so close to the ground already.

(For real?)

I'm not sure, no. Just saying that as I play a halfling, I haven't noticed much of a difference when kneeling, however my half-elf can't find squat without kneeling first.

Do you actually know this to be true? Or have you, like me, always been told that kneeling helps and just accept it to be true? I don't mean to say you're wrong or anything, just curious if you (or anyone) have (has) any actual proof. It seems logical enough, but that often doesn't matter when it comes to gemstone.

I think she basically said it right there that she wasn't totally sure, heh.

All I know is that I want/it is my destiny to be a foraging ninja.

[CrystalTears]

Not completely, 100% totally for sure, no. However I've read it and I've somewhat tested it. I didn't notice much of a difference with my halfling, however as my rather tall half-elf, if she kneels she has better chances at successful finds.

I probably used the wrong quote when I posed my question.
My request for specific proof was actually supposed to be directed at kneeling in general, not at halflings/gnomes not needing to kneel. She said she wasn't sure about the latter, if I read her post correctly.
