Survival

(Wis)

Japanese soldiers were able to live off the land in the Jungles of the Far East, eating Bambo shoots and Rice as they harried British troops on the way to capture Singapore. The Survival skill is used to represent the characters ability to forage for food and shelter in the wild.

Check: A character can keep his or herself and others safe and fed in the wild.

With the Track feat, a character can use Survival checks to track a character or animal across various terrain types.

Special: A character can take 10 when making a Survival check. A character can take 20 when tracking, or if there is no danger or penalty for failure, but not on periodic checks to get along in the wild.

A character with the Guide feat gets a +2 bonus on all Survival checks.

Time: Basic Survival checks occur each day in the wilderness or whenever a hazard presents itself. When using Survival with the Track feat to track a character or animal, checks are made according to distance, as described in the Track feat.
