"Practical knowledge of the outdoors, and the ability to live off the land. The knowledge of plants and animals."
This skill increases the traveling speed on the world map and a chance to avoid encounters.
Note: Outdoorsman is not applied while in a car, meaning you will always have the maximum chance to avoid an encounter while driving vehicles.
Each character can read up to 10 Scout Handbooks to increase Outdoorsman skill by 6% per book.
Avoiding Encounters
Your Outdoorsman skill modifies the chance you have to notice an encounter. Regardless of the skill's %, your chance cannot be higher than 95%.
When you notice an encounter, you will receive xp based on your Outdoorsman skill, the type of terrain you are on, and the difficulty of the encounter.
Then the group leader will be given an option to enter or avoid an encounter.
Chance that you will notice an encounter is based on:
- Terrain type (easy/hard).
- Highest Outdoorsman skill in group. (The person/critter will warn the group leader.)
- Difficulty of the encounter.
Traveling Speed
Traveling speed on the world map is affected by:
- You always travel faster on flat sections of land and slower over hilly or mountainous sections.
- Pathfinder support perk will increase the speed on the World Map by 25%
- Explorer support perk will ignore the speed penalties for terrain on the World Map
- Outdoorsman skill also increases the traveling speed by a small amount.
- Group leader's Outdoorsman skill and perks are used to determine traveling speed.
