Forced marches occur when a group of soldiers, travellers or adventurers are pushed to travel farther or faster than the distance that may normally be covered in the space of a day, depending on the terrain. This often occurs for reasons of urgency, where time is scarce and threats are imminent. A forced march usually exceeds the group's comfortable daily limits, causing exhaustion, reduced combat readiness, or physical strain. In game terms, it typically means extra distance at the cost of fatigue, requiring a constitution check and the need to rest afterward to restore penalties or avoid injuries.
