Skill Rules & Full Description

This skill allows the character to survive off the land. With this skill the character can provide the basics they need to live. They can hunt or scavenge for food, find or collect water and build a shelter. Out-of- game, if the character chooses to live off the land, they do not need topay their upkeep at the end of the Event (which is typically 1 silver piece).

With this skill the character can also help others survive in the wild. When purchased, this skill will allow the character to take one additional person with them. With each purchase of the skill, they can take an additional person. While the character can stay in the wild for an indefinite period of time, character’s without this skill can only stay out in the wild for one month (between two Events regardless of how many weeks there are) before they must return to civilization to recuperate.

Surviving off the land takes all of the character’s time and effort, therefore they are limited to what other activates they can perform in between Events at Plot’s discretion. However, they cannot learn any skills while they are living off the land due to the amount of time it takes them to practice those new skills, unless it is another purchase of Survival, which they can learn while taking advantage of this skill.

This skill can be purchased a maximum of 5 times.
