Terrain Mastery

At 2nd level, a horizon walker selects a favored terrain to master. When within this terrain the horizon walker may, as a move action, grant a +2 bonus on Climb, Stealth, Perception and Survival checks made by all allies within 30 feet who can see and hear him. This bonus lasts for a number of rounds equal to the horizon walker’s Wisdom modifier (minimum 1). The character masters one additional terrain at 4th, 6th, and 8th levels. Mastery of each terrain has additional benefits, outlined below; these benefits apply to the horizon walker at all times whether or not he is in the relevant terrain. Astral Plane: The horizon walker’s fly speed increases by +30 feet on planes with no gravity or subjective gravity. Cold: The horizon walker gains cold resistance 10.

Desert: The horizon walker gains immunity to exhaustion; anything that would cause him to become exhausted makes him fatigued instead.

Ethereal Plane: The horizon walker ignores the 20% concealment miss chance from fog and mist, and treats total concealment from these sources as concealment. Forest: The horizon walker gains a +4 competence bonus on Stealth checks.
