Hide | Conceal yourself in the shadows | |
Syntax: | HIDE and EMERGE | |
Details: | 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. |
Signal | Call across an area to your kin with the voice of the wild | |
Syntax: | SIGNAL <message> | |
Details: | 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. |
Climbing | Clamber up into the trees with ease | |
Syntax: | CLIMB UP and CLIMB DOWN | |
Details: | 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. |
Hardiness | Your time in the wilds has hardened both spirit and body | |
Syntax: | HARDINESS | |
Details: | 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. |
Barkskin | Make your skin tough like bark | |
Syntax: | BARKSKIN | |
Details: | Make your skin tough as bark, granting bonus resistance to physical damage. This
resistance is greater when standing in a forest or overgrown environment. Your resistance will grow in toughness as you learn more in Woodlore. |
Coagulation | Use your knowledge of healing to reduce bleeding | |
Syntax: | COAGULATION <ON/OFF> | |
Details: | 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. |
Conceal | Naught but a wisp of shadow from the wood | |
Syntax: | CONCEAL | |
Details: | 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. |
Wildmark | Leave your mark in the depths of the wild | |
Syntax: | WILDMARK CREATE <message> WILDMARK MAINTAIN WILDMARK CLEAR | |
Details: | 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. |
Foreststriding | Walk the woodland with the stride of the rangers | |
Syntax: | FORESTSTRIDE | |

celerity in any natural outdoor environment and an additional bonus within forests. |

granting you a temporary bonus to both your strength and constitution. If you use this skill within the limits of a city, you will also refresh a hefty portion of your endurance. |

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. |
Campfire | Build a campfire to soothe the body and soul | |
Syntax: | CAMPFIRE BUILD CAMPFIRE STOKE | |
Details: | 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.

damaging any enemy that is within your location. These thorns will additionally sting your opponent with the loki venom.
