Planar Survival (Proficiency)

==The Planewalker's Handbook==
This proficiency encompasses a number of different proficiencies, one specific to each plane. No basher will ever learn them all, since there're just too many different environments for a body to fully understand them all.
A character with this proficiency knows the general characteristics of a particular plane. Moreover, when on that plane, a basher can determine whether something is safe or not. This proficiency allows a character to check to see whether a plant's edible, the water's safe to drink, or if the gravity is going to change over the next ridge. Only constant and established dangers can be avoided, for this proficiency has its basis in the study of established texts. Something not even suggested in a book (because it is too new, too rare, or too remote) is impossible to detect.
Planar survival doesn't give a body unlimited knowledge about everything she comes across, however. A plane is just too blasted big for a berk to know everything about it, so the DM is still free to throw plenty of surprises at a character with this skill. Planar survival doesn't grant any knowledge about the denizens of a plane, only the environment.
This proficiency is a modified version of the "plane knowledge" proficiency (described in The Factol's Manifesto [2611]), which is available only to members of the Fated.
