Trailing

Trailing(Rogue, 1)
Ability: Dexterity
Modifier: Special
Trailing resembles tracking, except trailing is following a person who can be seen and followed, and is typically used in urban centers and the like. It is the talent of tailing someone ‐ of keeping a certain distance or even catching up to them, though they may be attempting to blend into a crowd, or at least get lost in the confusion of a street full or people. A proficiency check is first made to see of the thief is able to trail without being noticed. If the person being trailed has the alertness proficiency, then the thief has a ‐5 penalty. If the thief is spotted, then the person being trailed may attempt to evade, and the thief must make another proficiency check to stay on their trail. Modifiers for proficiency check are left up to the DM given the situation the characters are in when tailing a subject. A ‐3 applies if the person be trailed himself has the trailing proficiency (and, presumably knows the tricks of the trade and how to offset these).
