Survival

Characters with this skill may enter Tracking mode, moving slowly when doing so. Wherein hostile humanoids, animals and vermin can be tracked on the mini-map, using Survival skill equal or greater than the opposed stealth skill. Rangers also have an improved ability with the Track feat, allowing tracking of even more hostile creature types.

Skill difficulty is inconsistent and the list of creatures that can be tracked is limited, unless using the Track feat. Even if listen range that is still an effective distance and creature stealth may be estimated from 3.5e (regardless of stealth mode). eg; Bugbears 5 and Ghouls 6, to more than 48 for Epic Rogues.

Best for exploring new areas, suggested skill is dependant on expected encounters and if Track feat is used.
