[QUOTE="Witness, post: 317586, member: 1500"] In Masters of the Wild, their is a feat that grants you the scent ability. I think the main requirement is that you be able to Wildshape into a Wolf so you pretty much have to be a Druid to take it. I suggest that you make a feat based on the Scent ability that has no Wildhape requirement and only allows one to use it underwater. In the real world, Sharks can scent blood in the water miles away from its source. I think an ability based on scent better reflects what could be and would be done in an underwater civilization. Please describe your underwater kingdom. Do the people and creatures move about mostly on the ocean floor (like Sponge Bob Square Pants) or do they swim around like most underwater people in popular entertainment media. If its on the ocean floor, I see no problem with being able to track. If it is the other way, I don't think it would be possible without magic as tracking a creature through water should be almost as impossible as tracking acreature through the air. If you are intent on using your feat the way it is written, I suggest that you indicate somewhere that it is a Supernatural ability. Since Rangers already get magic abililities through their spell casting at later levels, that little change preserves their "flavor." [/QUOTE]
