Description:
An individual with this skill is an expert at outdoor camouflage. Using natural substances (grass, mud, sticks, etc.), he can attempt to blend himself and his companions into the undergrowth. This takes about ten minutes per person to carry out and is effective only as long as the characters are still and silent. It can be useful for hiding from attackers or as an ambush weapon. Buildings can also be camouflaged, taking about 2 hours to hide a small cottage, although they require maintenance about every week to repair and replace the disguise. On a successful skill expenditure, the character has become effectively invisible to all those more than 30 feet away, so long as he remains still. Individuals passing closer than 30 feet are likely to spot something amiss if they are observant.
Note that camouflage only works for normal visual sightings. Creatures with excellent senses of smell, or with infravision, are not affected. Camouflage is only successful in areas with moderate to heavy vegetation; marshal discretion.
