SolenVlos 11-27-07, 03:44 PM	but it also says "A creature with the Track feat and the scent ability can follow tracks by smell, making a Wisdom check to find or follow a track. ". I could be missing some nuance, since I'm not native. is this the case?

This is a case where a Wisdom check can be an untrained Survival check. It's like how all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares...
SolenVlos 11-27-07, 05:30 PM	I see, so I'll use survival then thanks.
