If he has 5 ranks of Survival, however, he automatically knows which direction is north.

You think that's silly?

Look at Earth Elementals.

They don't even have the ability to smell metals or tremorsense that Xorn have.

But they do have Darkvision, so helpfull for a creature that spends 99% of it's life in the ground.

12-01-06, 03:18 PM I'm not really sure how this applies but as I've never used it or seen it used for a long period of time sight typically wasn't an issue. I mean the few times I've used it, it was for for 5 ft down, 20 ft forward and 5 ft up, or just a few feet between cavern/mine passages.
