(-) You want your character to be well-oriented in the desert environment? Invest some skp to outdoorsmen = learn to use the map In RL i know people who don't even recognize what means south and west. They think 'south' means 'midday', coz' both are named in polish 'poludnie' It's horrible, but also so true..
nope, its rather an another benefit for character trained in avoiding ambushes at random encounters..
