Name	Pathfinder
Cost	8 points
Prerequisites	Tracking Proficiency
Key Words	Archetype / Scout / Stamina
Description	At the cost of 2 stamina, a character can spend at least 2 minutes studying an area of land or a map of that area. After that, they may ask a referee one question about how that area may be used, such as: The safest route through the area Whether a road is commonly travelled Whether an area is regularly/frequently/infrequently patrolled How much cover an enemy could benefit from If the character has access to intelligence or scouting reports, they may receive better quality information. If a character with Pathfinder and a character with Strategic Insight use their skills together, both will receive better quality information. Using either or both ahead of any scouting mission can improve the outcome. See Information Gathering for more on information-gathering skills. Note: The number of stamina points the character receives each day depends on how many skills they know that use them, see Magic Points, Stamina and Work Units.
