'''Pathfinding II''' is an [[Knowledge Points|authority]]-status [[Sage Ability|sage ability]] in the [[Sage Study|study]] of [[Scouting (sage study)|Scouting]] which enables the character to help protect others from the environment, giving a +2 modifier in [[Ability Checks|ability checks]] against getting caught in or taking damage from natural features, such as sink holes, slippery places, quicksand, natural pits, natural spikes and potential falls. In effect, the character with this skill indicates the best possible route for others of less skill to follow, reducing the chance they will get themselves into trouble.

The character with this ability is able to 'look after' one person per level — but note that the character himself must also be counted against the number to be protected if he wishes the benefit of the modifier. Otherwise, he will suffer from having paid too much attention to others.

		+
		+	Pathfinders with this ability are able to mark safe "pathways" through the use of scratches on rocks, the position of rocks, tied cloth markers and small cairns, which others — including [[Outlaw\|outlaws]] — are liable to follow. Over time, six months to a year, this is liable to evolve into a recognised "[[Roads & Routes#Route Descriptions\|path]]," over which mounts may be ridden single file. This in turn should lead to the appearance of homesteaders within 18 months, if the [[20-mile Hex Map\|20-mile hex]] affected is adjacent to one that includes [[Infrastructure\|infrastructure]].
