Scent Trail

Description

leave trail for allies to follow.

you, or a willing creature you touch, lay down a trail of scents that only the creatures you designate at the time of casting can detect. these creatures find it very easy to follow this trail. they gain a +20 competence bonus on any survival checks made for the purpose of tracking the creature laying this trail. subject creatures with the scent special ability gain a +10 competence bonus on wisdom or survival checks to follow the trail. in addition, you can leave scent messages along the trail. each word or emotion in this message requires spending a move action in the same spot. subject creatures seeking to understand this message must make another dc 20 survival check, with a –1 penalty for every word or emotion in the message, in order to understand it. creatures cannot benefit from this smell if they cannot use, or do not have, a sense of smell. creatures can use this spell to backtrack through a dungeon, maze, or similar areas even if the creature laying down the trail crossed over the spot multiple times.
