Abilities

Scouts get abilities to help in both solo and group game play. Scouts can receive the ability to run longer when burst running, reduce the chance of being attacked by an aggressive creature and can avoid terrain run speed penalties. They can also help groups (or just themselves) recover from health and action wounds through the use of camps. Scouts are also the only profession which can harvest resources off the bodies of fallen creatures.

The four Scout skill lines are: Exploration, Trapping, Hunting and Survival. Let's look at each of these in detail.
