Scout (Perk)

Scout is a perk that can be taken by a player. It need not be selected during character creation and can be learned at any time with the expenditure of improvement points.

With his knowledge of terrain, the scout perk allows the PC a chance to find additional cover for him/herself and allies prior to the start of an engagement. With an easy (10) luck roll, an additional 1d6 pieces of 1d6 strength cover are available near the scout, and his allies may start any encounter behind cover.

This perk may also allow faster overland travel as the scout is able to find shortcuts and such.
