This does kind of limit the trait's utility. You do get a straight "+2 bonus on Survival checks due to the lingering effects of the scent ability." That's hardly as useful as most of the other traits, though.

If you know someone is hiding within a hall, just block the doors and let the shifter sniff them out.

If you know someone is hiding within a hall, just block the doors and let the shifter sniff them out. yeah, they didnt really design it for tracking(IMO) it's only to destroy those ring of invisibility rogues/rangers. then again. the feats in RoE do lean towards other methods of discernment. Specificallydreamsight elite allows you to see invisibilityby killing a full round action...
