Survivalism #
You have the necessary knowledge and skills to survive out in the wild.
When you attempt to recall expert knowledge related to survival techniques, the standard score is your intelligence + a secondary ability score decided by the GM + your ranger level, to which you then add the bonus from Survivalism. This is called a survivalism knowledge check and is a type of intelligence check.
When employing techniques related to survival techniques, the standard score is your technique + a secondary ability score decided by the GM + your ranger level, to which you then add the bonus from Survivalism. This is called a survivalism technique check and is a type of manipulation check.
If you go for at least 24 hours without eating, then instead of making a strength resistance check every 3 hours, you can make a survivalism knowledge check or a survivalism technique check. The target score of this check is the number of hours you’ve gone without food −12. If you pass this check, you don’t receive penalties from not eating (p. 199).
