Prerequisite: Proficiency in the Survival skill
You are unusually adept at leading hunts and organizing search parties to find people and creatures in nearly any type of terrain.
- Increase your Wisdom score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
- For any Wisdom(Survival) check to track or find a creature, and for any Intelligence(Investigation) check to search for signs that a creature has passed through a location or area, you can add +1 to your roll for each ally and each friendly beast that is assisting you, up to a maximum bonus equal to your Wisdom modifier + your proficiency bonus. A creature using the help action to grant you advantage on the ability check cannot be counted for this purpose.
- Your ability to track a creature in this way when you have at least one ally or friendly beast assisting you is considered magical for the purpose of overcoming spells and abilities that prevent non-magical tracking.

Posted Oct 7, 2018Came about based on the initial idea of using a bloodhound or similar tracking animal to help find someone, then thinking about using multiple dogs and then leading and organizing a search party with people. I feel like it's pretty significantly powerful for what it does, but since it's for a niche, non-combat related task and requires multiple PC/NPC helpers to make it work I think it finds a decent balance somewhere between useless and overpowered. Any opinions on how useful/strong it is or suggestions for change?
