path check - This checks the set marker
path remove - This removes the saved marker


A Pathfinder always knows how to find the best path forward, but also back. This skill sets a subtle marker upon the caster's current location. The Pathfinder moves through nature back to their previously marked location. The journey is a brief, disorienting blur of motion.

RP Combat Information

Skill Type: Movement
Attack Syntax: 1d20 [No Fail Check]
Remarks: A Pathfinder can always find the best way forward to their destination. By using Path of Least Resistance, they can get to an enemy without them noticing. In addition, they may leave melee range without triggering an Attack of Opportunity to find a place where they have ADAVANTAGE for their next round of attacks. They may also use this ability per the DM's discretion to leave combat entirely or to find paths through mazes, difficult terrain, or to find a path when disoriented or lost.
