If you fail a Survival check, you can retry after 1 hour (outdoors) or 10 minutes (indoors) of searching.
Here are some of the potential modifiers for tracking creatures.
| Condition | DC Modifier | Surface | Survival DC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Every 3 creatures being tracked | -1 | Very Soft Ground | 5 |

Special: Rangers automatically gain the Track feat as a bonus feat. They need not select it.
This feat does not allow you to find or follow tracks made by a subject of the pass without trace spell.
Creatures with the scent ability can follow tracks by smell, making a Wisdom (or Survival) check to find or follow a track. The typical DC for a fresh trail is 10. This DC increases or decreases depending on how strong the quarry’s odor is, the number of creatures, and the age of the trail. For each hour that the trail is cold, the DC increases by 2. The ability otherwise follows the rules for the Track feat. Creatures tracking by scent ignore the effects of surface conditions and poor visibility. Creatures tracking by scent lose a trail that goes over water unless they can also breath water as well. Strong scents covering tracks raise the base DC to 20 instead of 10.
