[ +- ] Advantage
If a Trait, tool, or situation would grant you a bonus, you get advantage. This allows you to roll with 3d6, instead of 2d6!
[ +- ] Disadvantage
If you would be hindered or set-back, you have disadvantage. This forces you to roll with 1d6!
[ +- ] Focus
By spending an extra action you can increase you chance of passing your next test. Tests succeeded on a 4, 5, or 6
OOC:
I will usually apply Focus to rolls when you have time for extra care, though the official rules only use this rule in combat where you have to explicit state you are focusing and use an action for it.
Though you fail to spot the scout you do see a couple potential places that could be used for hiding. After riding around a bit more you find the elf, and his companion, sitting in the scant shade provided by a moderately sized rocky outcropping.
 elven Scout |  human scout |
The pair raise to their feet upon seeing you and smile as they relay their findings.
Nothing but grass, with the odd rock now and again, as far as the eye can see. The pair look at you expectantly before asking
So, . . . . where's lunch? It is the duty of the outriders to bring fresh water and the mid day meal to the scouts and you were given provisions for all the scouts but the need to track this pair down has put you a bit on edge. Peering around you see the caravan following the rough trail about a mile north of you, and getting a bit ahead of the of your current position. This puts the pair a bit out of place, as they are to range ahead and to the left. As you look at where the pair should be you see a faint dust cloud moving across the grassy hills some miles away. Not close, but something able to whip up that much dust . . .
OOC:
I am revising my character creation process so that players all start at the normal character creation point
This means that you begin the game with your Heritage Trait, +3 traits of your choice, 1 weapon type proficiency, and 1 weapons mastered from the type of weapon you are proficient with. Go ahead and update your character to match this.
