Ask anyone who's been stranded in the wilderness and they'll tell you just how valuable this Skill is. Survival is more than just a camping pastime; it's the difference between life and death. Those who take the time to learn this Skill find that they are adept at finding food, water, or shelter. Additionally, Survival allows characters to track prey, evade tracking, and find their way back to civilization. When characters attempt to use Stealth in the wilderness, they cannot use more Stealth dice than they have Survival dice.
