====== Survival (WIS) ======

You are skilled at surviving in the wild and at navigating in the wilderness. You also excel at following trails and tracks left by others.

===== Common Uses =====

==== Navigation ====

You can use the Survival skill to navigate through terrain, to avoid getting lost and to avoid natural hazards. To do so, you must simply make a Survival check whenever the GM calls for one.

==== Follow Tracks ====

To find tracks or to follow them for 1 mile requires a successful Survival check. You must make another Survival check every time the tracks become difficult to follow. Alternatively, you can use the [[priority:skills:perception|Perception]] skill to find a footprint or similar sign of a creature’s passage using the same DCs, but you can’t use [[priority:skills:perception|Perception]] to follow tracks, even if someone else has already found them.

You move at half your normal speed while following tracks (or at your normal speed with a –5 penalty on the check, or at up to twice your normal speed with a –20 penalty on the check). The DC depends on the surface and the prevailing conditions, as given on table.
