	'''Foraging''' is an amateur-status [[Sage Ability\|sage ability]] that permits the character to search for naturally occurring [[Food (substance)\|food]], which may be edible animal or vegetable matter. The exact nature of the food is not important, though it will typically consist of products such as fish, bird's eggs, roots, fruits and berries, nuts, honey, fungus, shellfish and more. The amount that is found will be far more than an ordinary person would find (an unskilled forager might locate half a pound per day) and will certainly be safe to eat. The ability includes the character's knowledge of when edible products are ripe; while some edible mushrooms may be located, the amount located will be less than 10% of the food found. Foraging should not be confused with [[Mushroom Hunt (sage ability)\|mushroom hunting]].
