Orion Prax
I would like to submit the idea that Orion is unaffected by forest and therefore does not treat it as rough terrain. My reasoning behind such an ability is as follows:
  • My nature is currently at 11, therefore I would know what trees are easy to clean, where to grip, walk, duck and the most effective way to not get slowed.
  • I have enough athletics (eight) to take on the demands involved with leaping up over and around branches and what have you. Also I have some acrobatics, so I am not unable to keep simple balance.
  • I was born and raised in the forests of the Great dale and survived on my own in it. I know how to get around in it.
  • Lastly,I'm a druid windlord, the forest is my home and I'm there guardian.

So in summery I see no reason why Orion can't parkour through the forests like Ratonhnhaké:ton (Connor Kenway) from Assassin's Creed 3. (FYI Orion is kinda based on him)

I vote that he makes a nature check for it, not become totally unaffected by it. terrain is different all over, after all. also, maybe he rolls a 1 he falls flat on his face, and if a 20 he can move another square? you could make it an at will move action.

I agree with Orion on this. I also think it'll make things easier as we keep track of less. it'll add something unique about him.

I'm in favour of this. One who grows up in a forest would know how to travel through on efficiently. New dimension to the character.

Very well, since everyone seems to be in full compliance with this, I will update Orion's Character sheet, and he can tell you what it says afterwards. No Avatar

Forest Walker Player moves through forest and wooded areas without suffering a movement penalty.
The forest opens a path for those Silvanus regards as his kin.

Only to a point maybe theres too many vines in the ways and he would have to cut it down or etc. No Avatar

Well if it's a wall of vines, I would think it would be easier to climb. But then who's to say I can't just do that.

Vines are a jungle thing. You didn't grow up in the jungle so you would still be hindered.

well there could be a ledge, or a fallen 300 year old tree, or a muddier area of the forest, leave it up to the imagination. which is why i think the check makes more sense, it would take care of that variable.
