Difference between revisions of "Tracking"

| style="background:lightyellow"|Tracking is the specialization of [[Hunting]] which is open to warriors. Trackers continue with learning the arts of capturing, mostly through the use of traps. Also, trackers can keep a hunting companion to help them. Trackers can be trained in any warrior guild, though often through ignoring development of the spiritual precepts of the guild. Warriors with this specialization who are not in a guild are sometimes referred to as mercenaries.

|cost = Power: 2 (to disarm carefully)

|description = You can search for traps in the same room for you or list the traps you've laid. If you know the trap that is in the room, you can attempt to disarm it. Some traps will be invisible to you. Increasing your skill level in Tracking and Environment will help you see traps.

Due to the difficulty of leading you, with your own scent interfering with the trail, the target's scent must be particularly strong. This can be accomplished by spraying the target with skunk's stench, causing them to get hit by a stink trap, or anything else which will make them smell powerfully enough. For one Lusternian day after this occurs, even if the target washes themselves, they will still smell strong enough to be tracked. Also, the target must be in the same local area and corporeal.

|description = You can lay a snare which will entangle an enemy's leg, which will also slightly wound that leg.

|description = You can scale mountains faster than a mountaineer. More importantly, you can stalk your prey up and down different mountain elevations.

|description = This ability will allow you to make hunting trophies out of the decapitated heads of your fallen enemies. You must first behead a corpse on the ground before you, then you may construct a trophy from it, using a wood commodity and a gold commodity. Finally, if you wish to truly display your prowess as a hunter, you may exhibit the trophy, providing that you have the necessary skill in [[Arts]].

|syntax = BOND DELIVER <item> TO <person>

|description = You can mark a trap so your allies will be able to see it, even if their

perception is not as attuned as yours.

|description = By pounding out a sheet of very thin iron, you can encase your companion in a suit of relatively durable armour. The armour will approximately halve the damage your companion receives and it will become immune to

critical hits. While your bond is wearing armour you will be unable to unite, listen, or look through your bond.

 

|description = Requiring no extra direction from you, your hunting companion will now occasionally attempt to leap up and lock its jaws around the arm of your enemy when ordered to ATTACK. If successful, your foe will have to writhe to escape your companion's grip, and until then will be unable to use that arm at all. This will also do extra wounding damage to the arm that is clamped. Your companion will not clamp while in a bloodthirst rage.

|description = Small wooden darts can be set to a network of trip wires that will

release the darts. Though the darts do no damage, they can be poisoned.

|description = Your bond with your hunting companion is now so strong that you are able to travel to it through sheer force of will. You must focus very hard on your bond, and after a short time the connection will become so powerful

that you will be unable to be apart, and so you will be brought together. As opposed to recalling your companion, this will bring you to its location, rather than it to yours.
