🥾Survivor Abilities
Hunting Buddy
Ability
During a short rest, you can spend time in an area with animals and attempt to gain a Hunting Buddy. A Hunting Buddy is a relatively small creature with 1 HP, normal walking speed, and generally rolls off of your nature skill check. They can’t really do much unless you command them.
You can command your Hunting Buddy as a quick action. After commanding them, they gain an action and movement action. What they’re capable of is up to the DM, but they are always able to use the Help Special Action.
Requires +2 Bonus In Nature
Home Advantage
Ability
Choose an environment that is familiar and is significant to your character. In that Home Advantage environment, you passively benefit from the Dash Special Action and have advantage on all stealth skill check rolls.
This environment you choose doesn’t have to be naturally occurring. It can include anything from urban cities, the vacuum of space, the comfort of a living room, as long as the DM agrees that it is an environment.
The environment you pick is permanent unless you get certain perks that allow you to add more environments
No Requirement
Feral Spirit
Ability
You gain a small passive buff based on an animal. You can change this passive at a short rest.
(Can choose a tiger for a small 10ft bonus to movement speed or a hummingbird for advantage on skill checks that help you find out which direction is which)
Requires +2 Bonus In Nature
Remedy
Ability
You gain a new Special Action: Remedy
As a quick action, you can attempt to remedy an open wound on a character within touch distance. As long as the damage dealt can be physically seen, you can roll a medicine skill check to slightly heal them. You can also choose to use your wisdom on this medicine skill check.
On a successful roll, you heal the character 1d4 + INT/WIS. Failed rolls result in the character taking damage equal to the stat you used on the medicine skill check.
Attempting to use this on a character more than once per long rest raises the DC you need on the medicine skill check at the DM’s discretion. It can even cause grievous wounds.
Requires At Least +0 Bonus In Medicine
Stable Footing

Informed
Ability
