Outdoorsmen<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

This sub class includes Cowboys, Game Hunters, Poachers, Game Keepers, and Explorers and so on. It is mostly in this group that skills like trapping, tracking, survival and such are found.\u00a0 Although mostly male, there are women who have ventured off the normal path to explore and in doing so have become proficient with weapons and outdoor skills.<\/span><\/p>\n

W<\/span>ith the exception of Big Game Hunters and Explorers, who are always Upper Middle Class or higher, most Outdoorsmen are Lower Working Class to Middle Class.\u00a0 For them this is a job, not a past time or hobby.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Outdoorsmen<\/b> (Fighters)<\/span><\/p>\n

Civilians whose careers sometimes bring them into combat type situations. Current or ex Big Game hunters, Game Keepers, Poachers, Cowboys…<\/span><\/p>\n

1D12 HD<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Limited weapon selection (see below) NO artillery, explosives of any kind or bayonets.\u00a0 But could include bow, crossbow, spear, tomahawk, etc.\u00a0 <\/span>Skill sets and Abilities will vary but usually include, tracking, survival, fishing, snares\/traps or seamanship, navigation (requires these Skills.)\u00a0 Enhanced ability to Surprise (when outdoors) and Reduced chance of Being Surprised (when outdoors.) SOME Outdoorsmen, particularly those of Upper Middle Class or higher backgrounds, will have a Profession, which they may or may not practice (depending on their financial situation.)\u00a0 But most Lower Class and Middle Class Outdoor folk either have an alternate career, or like a Gamekeeper, Poacher, Cowboy, etc THIS IS their career.\u00a0 The list of secondary skills reflects these.

OUTDOORSMAN ABILITIES<\/strong><\/p>\n

Build Snares & Traps:<\/span><\/span><\/strong>
\nThese constructions will catch game or enemies. The Outdoorsman can construct any of the <\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span>following in the times shown below and with the noted effects on any victim:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Snare:<\/span><\/span><\/strong> 3 turns; save vs. death or victim killed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Deadfall<\/span><\/span><\/strong>:<\/span><\/span> 1 hour; 4-24 damage.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Heavy Deadfall:<\/span><\/span><\/strong> 2 hours; save vs. death or victim killed; 6-36 damage if save made.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pit Trap<\/span><\/span><\/strong>:<\/span><\/span> 4 hours; save vs. death to avoid unconsciousness for 1 hour, 1-6 damage + 1-6\/stake placed by Outdoorsman up to 10, with d10 roll by victim to determine how many stakes are<\/span><\/span> effective; no escape, or at least 1 round required to get out of pit (DM determination).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Spring Trap<\/span><\/span><\/strong>:<\/span><\/span> 15 minutes; 4-16 damage; successful \u02bbto hit\u02bc<\/span><\/span> roll must be made by trap against victim\u02bcs armor class to inflict damage.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Construct Simple Weapons:
\n<\/span><\/span><\/strong>The Outdoorsman is able to fashion weapons as indicated below. The chance of a weapon <\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span>breaking on use is the inverse of the skill of the Outdoorsman, as shown on the table (so a club<\/span><\/span> fashioned by a 1st level Outdoorsman has a 59% (100-20-21= 59) chance of breaking when used for the first time. If the weapon survives the first use, no further rolls are required.)
\nClub:<\/span><\/span> 1 turn; +20% on skill for fashioning.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span>Spear:<\/span><\/span> 3 turns; +10%.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span>Knife:<\/span><\/span> 1 hour; +5%.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span>Stone Axe:<\/span><\/span> 3 hours.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span>Short Bow:<\/span><\/span> 6 hours with 3 arrows, each additional arrow 1 hour.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Track:
\n<\/span><\/span><\/strong>This includes identification of any footprints, signs, and spoor of any sort. The Outdoorsman is able to track the quarry detected at a base chance as shown on the Table, with modifications as below:
\nSign under 1 hour old<\/span><\/span> +20%<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span>Sign under 3 hours old<\/span><\/span> +10%<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span>Sign under 1 day old<\/span><\/span> 0%<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span>Sign over 1 day old<\/span><\/span> -5%<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span>Sign over 2 days old -10%<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span>Simple concealing of sign used<\/span><\/span> -10%<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span>Rain or other similar disturbance -20%\/hour<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
