Or you became a persistent threat to others in the wilderness Survival allows you to follow the tracks of migrating beasts, retreating foes, traveling raiders, and any other being that travelled in the wild.  It also allows you to forage for and guide allies through natural terrains and avoid natural hazards and threats like quicksand, an owlbear's nest, or a planar portal. Survival can allow you to predict the weather and find appropriate shelter from extreme climate (if not create a makeshift one of your own).Survival can also be used for the opposite uses. You might roll a Survival to hide or falsify tracks, disguise traps as natural features, scare off wild game, or hide a campsite.This is my point.You'd now need to actually write out all the challenges like what A5e did.That's a lot of pages.</blockquote>
