Sorry. I'm more familiar with 3.5. Less so with pathfinder

Had to double check the rules, got worried that I was playing the game wrong this whole time. All skills cost 1 rank, class-skills give you a one-time +3 bonus when a rank is put into them

Most rules from 3.5 cross over, just assumed that one did too

I like the skill point idea. The land search skill could also be what you roll for your bonus to find out what you got on the hex instead of a knowledge skill.
I like that idea but how do we retcon that in? Do we get one opportunity, if this passes, to reallocate one skill point per level? Or do we just straight open it up from here on forward?

Well if the majority of us agree that skill point idea is the most piratical then we can start working out specifics. I do think that it would be good to also add a feat that aids in land searches.
Here is what we need 1. Name of Skill: 2. How should ranks in skill affect the effect of land searches. 3. Would the skill aid in any other skill rolls. 4. How would adding a new skill effect existing players. 5. Should we add a feat, and if so, what. 6. What bonus will rangers have over non-rangers.
Feel free to add.

The survival skill itself seems to already factor in dealing with overland movement, navigating and, well, survival. Why not tweak the guidelines that are already there to suit this game's movement mechanics rather than create an entirely new skill and new feats? paizo.com/prd/skills/survival.html

I like that idea better, survival skill = you can land search.
Throwing feats into the mix would just be asking too much to ask to put specifically into this one thing for a character. Could screw the whole build the person wanted.

None the less my point is we need to make a genuine proposal and put it forward. I say we put it to a vote on which method is the preferred way. Myself I do like the idea of keeping it simple and am happy with making it under survival, although making it a profession would not change pathfinder rules either as profession is an open category.
Masses, elect!

I vote for survival skill meaning you can land search
