Rangers cannot perform this ability indoors. Scale (Dexterity): Moves at one-half character speed. Failed scale check means that the character makes no progress. A check that fails by 5 or more means that the character falls. Traps (Wisdom): Able to detect and build simple traps in wilderness environment. When passing 25 feet of a wilderness trap, the ranger is entitled to an attribute check to spot it. When actively searching, +2 bonus is added to the check.
