No. "hawk eye" is good on shooting range or in city schooting(and to determinate position after spawning as it is now) but in wasteland only outdoorsman skill and maybe sneak' a little' but mostly outdoorsman should be checked for this idea.

Archaeon_dude:
I don't quite get what "hawk eye" is. May you please unnoobernize me?

Tyler:
A hawk eye is a sniper.They must have eyes like a hawk to be able to shoot other people in the eyes from 50 hexes.And since Pe is about more than just vision I think it should hold more weight in this skill check.Overall i like the idea but Pe is very important for anyone in an outdoors setting since it not only lets you see far but you are also aware of little details other people might miss like sounds, tracks, and smells.The outdoors skill is what allows you to properly use the signs.Anyone with a keen eye can notice foot prints in th dirt but only an outdoorsman will know how old they are if they were made by 5 people or 7.

Archaeon_dude:
Wasn't the classic build of Outdoorsman based only in EN? That could be modified but I can clearly see it could make fuss. Keeping it canon makes it easier for heavier built characters, different from a sort of lightweight sniper, to counterweght the perceptual proficiency of the other class. What you say is totally realistic, but if we're to mess with the base of Outdoors, perception might need to have less weight than endurance. Or at least that's what I think right now.
