I am a BIG fan of skill use and skill based characters, but at the same time, there is a time and place for everyhting. Tracking has lots of great applications, and can sometimes give you information that you wouldn't even know how to ask for in a spell. But my assesment is that its not the way to go in a well used interior corridor. I don't see where people get from this single circumstance to the assertion that anyone is trying to 'nerf' a character focus. Is a fighter nerfed because he can't hit his way through a wall of force? Is a rouge nerfed because she can't hide in the middle of an empty street in broad daylight? A bard who can't bluff his way past an automated golem the same way he could a human guard? A magic user who can't scry for the thief when he doesn't know who stole the treasure or exactly what was stolen?The fact that another character of the same level might have access to spells that could resolve the situation does seem to me somewhat relevant - it indicates other, more viable options the party may have available. Magic may be more effective in this situation, skills in another. Addressing this situation isn't an attack on the use of a skill, and saying that the player has wasted feats and skills because they don't let him be THE ONE to solve this situation? thats perposterously short sighted.
