Survival

The Survival skill represents a character’s ability to thrive in the wilderness and adapt to harsh environments. It covers essential skills such as hunting, foraging, tracking, navigation, setting up camp, and enduring the challenges of nature. Characters with this skill are capable of finding food, avoiding natural hazards, and navigating the wilds without the need for civilization’s comforts.
