Deep Tracker

+4 Tracking; follow across any surface; +4 vs.

The character is a tracker who reads sign others miss. The character gains +4 to all Tracking checks. The character may follow tracks across any surface (including hull plating, glass, zero-G handholds, Vacuum dust, and digital footprints in data logs). The character gains +4 to oppose any Counter-Tracking attempt against them. Trails the character studies remain readable for 24 hours even after weather, traffic, or scrubbers.

Notes

Special: Does not grant the ability to track across time (a 1-week-old trail is still unreadable). The 24-hour persistence applies only to trails the character has personally studied. Stacks with Pathfinder for movement through difficult terrain.
