Scout

You’re an expert in espionage and reconnaissance, able to skulk silently through the wilderness to gather intelligence, sneak through enemy lines to report to your comrades, or suddenly and decisively strike your foes. Your skills ease the difficulty of travel for you and your companions and keep you all on-guard when you’re approaching danger.

Additional Feats: 12th Camouflage

Archetype Dedication

Prerequisite(s) trained in Stealth and Survival

Archetype Flourish

Prerequisite(s) Scout Dedication

You meander around unpredictably, and then ambush your opponents without warning. Choose one enemy. Stride, Feint against that opponent, and then make a Strike against that foe. For your Feint, you can attempt a Stealth check instead of the Deception check that’s usually required, because you use the terrain around you to catch your foe off-guard.
