Cleon
Legend
Yes, but it can detect a sealed barrel at a mile.
So, something like a (Ps) version of a shark's Keen Scent that detects water instead of blood?
Yes, but it can detect a sealed barrel at a mile.
Modifying keen scent as an attempt:
Dowsing (Ps): A jarbo can detect water at ranges of up to a mile.
Not sure if that's too simplified or not.
How about...
Dowse Water (Ps): A jarbo can locate any water in a 300-foot radius, even as little as a teaspoonful. It can sense the direction of larger quantities of water at longer ranges - up to a mile for a barrel of water, 50 miles for an oasis.
That works for me.
Agreed with Cleon on all counts, though I imagine the swim check bit is just part of standard language.
Skill ranks into Hide, since they're mostly prey animals?
