Orienteering Non-weapon Proficiency
A character with this proficiency is capable of reading and following any normal map he comes across. He can even follow, in general terms, maps labeled in unfamiliar languages as long as he makes a successful ability check. Furthermore, if the sky is clear, the character can determine direction, night or day, by using the stars and daytime shadows as guides. The latter method requires one turn to make the proper measurements and calculations.
A character with this skill and an appropriate map gains a + 1 bonus to any survival skill roll. He also gains a + 1 bonus to any navigation skill roll he makes if he has the right map for the area.
