Survival

Survival represents how tough, crafty and self-sufficient characters are. It is used by characters to find things like food or resources in hostile environments, to orient themselves in a new location, or to do things that they need to survive, such as building a shelter, knowing what to do when a hurricane comes their way, or knowing what type of food is edible. Additionally, Survival represents the perceptiveness of the characters. 
== Use ==
Most often used with Mind when analyzing a situation, or Dexterity when crafting things or gathering supplies.
== Hiding ==
Passive action. Hiding can be used while performing any type of action that does not usually draw attention. The character remains hidden as long as he remains in an adequate place to hide or until found by a Searching action. If other characters cannot physically fail to perceive the character who wants to perform a Hiding action, the GM can declare the action invalid.
== Searching ==
Passive action (A character can perform a passive action in the same turn he performs another action. A character performing a passive action during a confrontation can choose to play cards from the top of his deck and/or from his hand.)
Characters can perform a Searching action in three instances:
* They are actively searching for a character because they already knew he was there. They may have been told by someone, they may have seen him before he hid, perhaps he has drawn their attention, etc. They must choose a specific area to check, such as some bushes, a treeline, or a dark alley. 
* They want to ensure that there is no risk hidden in a specific area. They must choose a specific area to check.
* They suspect that someone is hiding. A character with a higher Survival skill than the hidden character’s Cunning Skill will suspect someone is hiding automatically and does not need to choose a specific area.
A successful Searching action will reveal the hidden character to the searcher and from that moment onwards, the hidden character is no longer considered hiding for him. A failed Searching action will leave the searcher oblivious of the location or existence of the hidden character.
