Trailblazing (skill)
Trailblazing
Trailblazing encompasses the skill of the survivalist. When an individual treks the vast unknown, they rely on themselves and the wilderness to sustain them. Travelling for days on end for a specific cause, or merely to survive in the harsh wilderness forces a person to develop skills and abilities to protect them. Trailblazing is the series of abilities which reflect this.
When you gain the skill of Trailblazing, you have the ability to choose a specialisation in either Toxins or Concoctions. To make your choice, either CHOOSE TOXINS or CHOOSE CONCOCTIONS. If you choose a specialisation in Toxins, you will gain the ability to prepare several different types of Toxins. If you choose a specialisation in Concoctions, you will gain the ability to prepare several different types of herbs and salves. You may choose again every 5 years.
