Tracks Feature

Post by 8Riddle_Me_This8 » Tue Mar 28, 2017 11:44 pm

Question with regarding the -tracks feature and "tracks" that are left behind. Is the feature able to determine the tracks left by someone or just by the creatures in the area? I always thought it was one in the same. Thanks ;)

The -tracks command tells you the type of creature that spawns in the area, while if you click on the footprints left by pcs on area transitions, you get information on those pcs. The footprints system gives more details the higher your ranger levels.

does it work off the same feature? i.e -tracks gives you the ability to inspect footprints?

Nope!

You actualy have to click the footprints.

What I am saying is this.. I can use -tracks and it gives me info.. when I click the footprints, it says I cannot tell anything about it. maybe I am bugged?

Do you have at least three Ranger levels?

Yup, at 9th level you should get something. It shows on your dialogue box. On the combat one, to be more specific, as yellow text.

Just to be absolutely clear, 9th level ranger? If you have -track because you're a wood/wild elf, forest gnome, wild dwarf, fey, or Harper scout, then you can't read the PC tracks. Only rangers get to read the tracks.
