04-14-07, 07:31 PM Is it just me, or does it seem like Track really should be a class skill for the scout? I mean it fits the flavor of the class perfectly from my point of view.

Personally, I don't agree with the need for a Track feat in the first place, Id prefer the entire thing just be based off survival checks.

If Track were to be made a class feature, where should it be obtained? 1st level?

Any thoughts on this?

And not all scouts are for tracking.

sure, its one of their bonus feats, but by that same argument, not all rangers are for tracking either, just as much as, say, a druid is, my argument is that they would be tracking just as much as a ranger, so im wondering why it isnt a class ability.
