Instinct Actions

Navigate

Using your sense of direction and the position of the sun, you attempt to orient yourself in the wilderness. If the sky isn't clear, you take a -2 penalty. If you can't see the sky, you take a -5 penalty.

Assistance: Helpers make a Navigate (Instinct) check.

Success: You remember the way back to the start of the area you're in, and you have a sense of cardinal directions accurate to roughly 20 degrees.
Critical Success: You remember the exact route you took since entering the area, and you know the cardinal directions exactly.
Failure: You can't tell which direction you're going.

Tell Time

Based on the position of the sun and moon and your sense of time, you estimate the amount of time until the next sunrise or sunset. If the sky isn't clear, you take a -5 circumstance penalty. If you can't see the sky at all, you take a -10 penalty.

Success: Your guess is accurate to a range of 30 minutes.
Critical Success: Your guess is accurate to a range of 10 minutes.
Failure: Your guess is off by one to two hours.
Critical Failure: You have no idea what time it is.

Predict Weather

You use the cloud patterns and temperature trends to predict the weather in the area for the next few hours. If you can't see the sky, you take a -5 penalty.

Success: You accurately predict the weather at your current location for the next six hours.
Critical Success: You accurately predict the weather for the next full day.
Failure: Your prediction is incorrect, or you are unable to tell.

Sense Danger

You gain an innate sense of how dangerous a situation or nonhuman creature is.

Make a Sense Danger (Insight) check. When sensing a creature, the difficulty is that creature's Charisma score. When sensing an area or object, the GM sets the difficulty based on the dangers that might be present.

Success: If the target presents a threat to you or your allies, you can tell. If it doesn't, then you can't be entirely sure.
Critical Success: You know immediately if the situation is dangerous or if it's safe.
Failure: You can't tell how dangerous the situation is.
Critical Failure: Your sense of danger is strong, but completely inaccurate.

Forage

You spend one hour searching your surroundings for natural resources, such as edible plants and fungi, or alchemical items. Make a Foraging (Instinct) skill check.

Success: You find a small quantity of 1 to 3 different varieties of items. The GM decides what you collect based on the type of environment you're in.
Critical Success: You find a larger quantity or more varieties of items, but nothing that doesn't occur naturally in your current environment.
Failure: You don't find anything.
Critical Failure: You might injure yourself while exploring, or mistake an inedible or poisonous item for a useful one.
