1. False Trail

Ursine Cycle

BTS: n/a

ULT: 8 hours

Materials: a bear claw

Actions: scrape Materials on ground or on a tree to commence False Trail

Effect of Throw:

1 to 10    No Effect

³ 11    Length of Trail = 100(T-10) yards    (Caster may specify maximum)

DL of Trail:    D    - D(D-1)/2

Notes:

  1. Creates a false trail which is made by the Nature Spirit.  Caster specifies direction in which trail departs his current location by Actions, but the route is at the discretion of the Nature Spirit.
  2. Caster specifies the number and type of Beings the trail appears to be made by using the DL of Trail Variable Parameter, which may also be increased by the environment (see Follow Tracks for details).  If Caster does not specify number and type of Beings, the Nature Spirit will assume the trail is to be as if made by Caster's current party.
  3. The trail is as good as if made by the Beings specified, so may not be discovered as false by Thievish Track or Follow Tracks Spells.  It does not include a covered doubled-back trail, as would a false trail made by a bear or a scout.  However Truesight may reveal it to be false.
  4. The trail is not concealed, but Cover Tracks may be used on it as normal to make it appear to have been concealed.
  5. The Spell has no effect upon the actual trail left by Caster and his party on departing the location.
