{{AB
|skillname = Hide
|syntax = HIDE and EMERGE
|description =
In the ebb and flow of the Rhythm, the hunter may become the hunted. Many scouts amongst the
Sentinels quickly learn to keep to the shadows in their training, lest their elders catch them.
 
This will allow you to quickly conceal yourself from common view, assuming no others stand in your
location. If you wish to no longer hide, then you can emerge from your hiding place.
 
}}
 
{{AB
|skillname = Signal
|syntax = SIGNAL <message>
|description =
It is often said that the enemy has many spies; but none so cunning as to know the speech of birds
and beasts. The Sentinel rangers have spent much of their time within the woodlands and vales of
Sapience, and so have learned to mask their calls to their allies across the great expanses.
 
Masking your words, you can communicate in secrecy by twittering as a mockingbird or even the
croaking cry of a raven for the enemy shall be none the wiser as the Wilds themselves are your ally.
 
}}
 
{{AB
|skillname = Climbing
|syntax = CLIMB UP and CLIMB DOWN
|description =
It takes a knowing hand and eye to move through the treetops, finding purchase in every lofty bough
and making sure the wind doesn't buffet you from your perch. The Rangers will often tell the
younger Trackers of their bone-shattering plummets from the heavens, but many claim it is little
more than an attempt to 'put a scare' into you.
 
Should there be trees in your location, you may climb up into their treetops. You can then climb
down if you wish to leave them.
 
}}
 
{{AB
|skillname = Hardiness
|syntax = HARDINESS
|description =
Through their training, the Sentinels have become hardy in the unyielding and unforgiving
wilderness that spans the breadth of Sapience. Your natural resilience has granted you bonus
resistance to the harmful effects of cold and poisons.
 
}}
 
{{AB
|skillname = Barkskin
|syntax = BARKSKIN
|description =
Make your skin tough as bark, granting bonus resistance to physical damage. This resistance is
greater when standing in a forest or overgrown environment.
 
}}
 
{{AB
|skillname = Coagulation
|syntax = Snytax: COAGULATION <ON/OFF>
|description =
Anyone who spends time in the wilderness understands the value of a basic knowledge of first aid.
Using this technique, you will cause your bleeding to passively clot while active, though it does
drain mana in order to maintain.
 
}}
 
{{AB
|skillname = Conceal
|syntax = CONCEAL
|description =
By masking yourself in the shadows, you will be able to mask your movements to and from locations,
concealing your identity from those who see you dart away. This defence lasts far longer when used
within a forest environment.
 
}}
 
{{AB
|skillname = Wildmark
|syntax = WILDMARK CREATE <message>
|description =        WILDMARK MAINTAIN
      WILDMARK CLEAR
 
Subtly altering the natural environment around you will allow you to leave a message that only
Sentinels may read. This message will last only a few months, though you may maintain it to reset
this timer. Alternatively, you may simply clear the present message. You may only clear messages
you have placed.
 
}}
 
{{AB
|skillname = Foreststriding
|syntax = FORESTSTRIDE
|description =
You are capable of moving through the forest with incredible ease, granting you bonus celerity in
any outdoor environment and an additional bonus within forests.

{{AB
|skillname = Refresh

your endurance, while simultaneously granting you a temporary bonus to both your strength and
constitution.
 
}}

|skillname = Tent
|syntax = TENT SETUP
|description =        TENT COLLAPSE
        TENT LOCATE
 
Commodities:
3 rope, 3 wood, and 3 cloth.
 
With the right commodities you will be able to construct a simple tent. The tent can only be put up
outside and in fitting environments, these being:
Forest, Valley, Hills, Plains, Desert, Mountains, Grassland and Jungle.
 
When a tent is collapsed, you will only recover a portion of the commodities.
 
Patrons are permitted to change the descriptions of your tent, as long as the description maintains
that you are indeed inside a small, simple tent.
 
}}
 
{{AB
|skillname = Campfire
|syntax = CAMPFIRE BUILD
|description =        CAMPFIRE STOKE
 
Commodities:
3 wood to build
1 wood to stoke
 
By building a campfire, you can keep yourself and others warm in the cold. Additionally, your  
craftsmanship will help regenerate the endurance and willpower of those that linger by the flames.
 
When the fire starts to burn out, you may stoke it with extra wood to keep it alive.
 
}}
 
{{AB
|skillname = Fitness
|syntax = FITNESS
|description = 
With the increased lung power you have gained from your bodily mastery, you are able to resist the
effects of asthma. If you already have asthma, then you can purge it from your body. There is a  
period of time before you may use fitness again after using it.
 
}}
 
{{AB
|skillname = Thornspray
|syntax = INVOKE THORNSPRAY

enemy that is within your location. These thorns will additionally sting your opponent with the

find that the damage is reduced.
 
}}

{{AB
|skillname = Campsite
|syntax = CAMPSITE CONSTRUCT
|description =        CAMPSITE REMOVE
        SCOUT
 
You may convert your tent and campfire into a full campsite, granting you several bonuses exclusive
to its presence. This process takes a bit of endurance and concentration as you set up the
surrounding area, and may only be done in a forest environment.
 
You will receive the following effects while remaining at your campsite:
- Your campfire will no longer require stoking.
- The title of your location will be temporarily changed to match your site.
- Remaining in the treetops of your location will mask the presence of any allies, hiding them from
sensing.
- You may SCOUT while in the treetops, discerning the presence of any denizen or animal in the area.
 
A campsite will last for one Aetolian day.
 
}}

}}
 
{{AB
|skillname = Calling

|description =        DISMISS <companion>
        CALL ANIMALS
        ANIMALS
 
You are able to call and control up to two companions at once. Consult AB WOODLORE for a list of
the companions you may use. Calling companions has no delay if used in a forest, a short delay if
used in a non-urban environment, and a long delay otherwise as it will take some time to find your
location.
 
If you get separated from your animals you can CALL ANIMALS at any time to return them to your side.
ANIMALS will let you see what animals you have summoned, as well as their current location.
 
}}

}}
 
{{AB
|skillname = Raccoon
