Survival

You are adept at living in the wilderness, foraging for food and building shelter, and with training, you discover the secrets of tracking and hiding your trail. 

COVER TRACKS (1 Hour)

You cover your physical tracks in nature, moving at half your normal travel speed. You don’t need to attempt a check to cover your tracks; you just have to announce you're covering your tracks and spend the time to do so. Anyone tracking you must succeed at a Survival check against a DC equal to 10+your Cunning Modifier+Your Survival Proficiency Modifier (if it is higher than the normal DC to Track you).

NAVIGATE ⬤ ⬤ ⬤ 

Find your way to a distant location without directions or other specific guidance. Generally, you do not need to make a check to find a small town or prominent landmark, or to follow an accurate map. However, the character might make a check to wend their way through a dense forest or an underground cave system.  Spend 3 Actions to orient yourself and make a Survival check. The DC depends on the trip length and your familiarity with the wilderness area you're navigating. 

When faced with multiple choices, such as at a fork in a path, you can make a Navigate check to intuit which choice leads toward a known destination. A character cannot use this function of Navigate to find a path to a site if the character has no idea where the site is located. The GM may choose to make the Survival roll for a Navigate check in secret, so the play doesn't know if their character is following the right or wrong path.

PREPARE CAMPSITE (2 Hours)

Spend 2 hours searching for a safe, secure location and setting up a campsite, then make a Survival check against the DC of the region you're in (determined by the GM). If you have Prepared a Campsite in the same region in the past, you can use Prepare Campsite to achieve your previous level of success with only 1 hour of work. 

SENSE DIRECTION (1 Minute)

Using the stars, the position of the sun, traits of the geography or flora, or the behaviour of fauna, you can stay oriented in the wild. Spend 1 minute orienting yourself and make a Street Smarts check. The GM determines the DC and how long this activity takes (usually just a minute or so) based on your familiarity with the wilderness area you're in. Without a map or GPS, you take a –2 item penalty to checks to Sense Direction.

TRACK (1 Hour)

You follow tracks in the wilderness (alleyways, rooftops, sewers), moving at up to half your Speed. Attempt a Survival check when you start, once every hour, and whenever the trail changes significantly. In an encounter, Track takes 1 Action every round you wish to continue following the tracks. The GM determines the DCs for such checks based on the trail's freshness, the weather, and the type of ground.

TRAILBLAZING (1 Day)

Find paths through rough terrain and persevere through adverse environments. Make a Survival Check at the start of the day against a DC set by the GM reflecting the difficulty of the terrain you are trailblazing through. This check covers a full day's travel.
