[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 28057, member: 232"] Wilderness Scout A Wilderness Scout is a person who lacks many of the talents of an actual ranger, but can still get along in the woods much better then the average person. They are often hired out as scouts and guides in the wilderness. They are known to accompany rangers on missions, as the wilderness scouts are sometimes better then rangers in a few areas. Wilderness Scouts are accustomed to wearing some armor. They are adept in dealing with bandits not only with force but also with grace and ease. They are known to speak many languages that they encounter in their journeys. They are best known for not getting lost.
