The Scout

The Scout excels in wilderness survival and is skilled in combat. He can track a days old trail and snipe from the treetops with equal facility. Scouts often serve as guides for adventurers, if they are not out adventuring themselves. Though the scout is at home in the wild, he is more of a guerilla fighter than a defender of nature.

Scouts, are the trackers, explorers, lone Operatives and those who make up thesmall reconnaissance squads that fill the ranks of armies as needed.They go where ordered usually alone or in small squads in advance of a main force, todiscover the lay of the land, location of an enemy and their facilities, catalogue any naturalthreats and so forth. They are also used from time to time as bounty hunters and those whotrack down criminals..Scouts are usually trained by the military, and are putthrough their paces, while being taught the valuable skills that make scouts so valuable. The Scouts are not really viewed as part of thearmy, by the grunts, being considered more of a rogue element, as they tend to be givenmore free reign having fewer restrictions than the common rank and file trooper, also theirpersonality quirks are tolerated and the uniform rules relaxed, as they often need to appear relaxed out of uniform while infiltrating a rival kingdom or enemy encampment.
