Pass without Trace (spell)

Pass without Trace enables the recipient to travel over any surface, including mud, snow, sand or dust, without leaving either a footprint or a scent. The spell doesn't provide movement bonuses through difficult vegetation or over rough terrain, but the recipient may move at any stride, and any object that is carried, without leaving trace.

The spell can be cast upon a horse or other mount, but then the rider would leave a trace upon dismounting. The spell grants no benefit to non-living creatures such as wagons, carts or seagoing craft (which could leave evidence of their wake in some environments).
The spell's benefits can greatly improve the chance of the avoiding an amateur or authority-status tracker, but an expert can recognize the effects of the spell and will compensate for it, guessing approximately where to pick up the trail again. Remember that the spell remains in effect for a mere two minutes per level — although this is enough for a character with evasion skill to outwit an expert tracker.
