Follow Tracks
To find tracks requires a successful Survival check. You must make another Survival check every time the tracks become difficult to follow.
You move at half your normal speed while following tracks. The DC depends on the surface and the prevailing conditions.
Action A Survival check made to find tracks is at least a full-round action, and it may take even longer.
Retry? For finding tracks, you can retry a failed check after 1 hour (outdoors) or 10 minutes (indoors) of searching.
Untrained? If you are not trained in this skill, you can make untrained checks to find tracks, but you can follow them only if the DC for the task is 10 or lower. Alternatively, you can use the Perception skill to find a footprint or similar sign of a creature’s passage using the same DCs, but you can’t use Perception to follow tracks, even if someone else has already found them.
