Land Surveying

Class proficiency — see Proficiencies for the rules and the Proficiency Index for the full list.

The character is an expert at surveying the land around him. The character can attempt to assess the land value of a hex to determine if it is worth settling. The character can also attempt to assess the total number of lairs in the hex based on the lay of the land, evidence of cultivation, and other factors. When moving at exploration speed in the wilderness, he habitually scans for dangers such as collapses, deadfalls, rockslides or sinkholes. Anytime he encounters such a danger, the Judge secretly makes a Land Surveying proficiency throw on his behalf. On a throw of 14+, the character detects the danger. By spending one turn (10 minutes), the character can methodically survey an area of up to 10,000 square feet for such dangers, with 10+ succeeding.
