Pathfinding II (sage ability)

Pathfinding II is an authority-status sage ability in the study of Scouting which enables the character to help protect others from the environment, giving a +2 modifier in 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.
