Some folks think you’re a testosterone sadist, and they might even be right. As far as you see it, though, you’re keeping an essential skill alive. Especially among mages who spend time in the wilderness or Otherworlds, this Skill means the difference between being a live magus and a dead child of the supermarket age!","Like Art, Crafts, and other broad-set Abilities, Hunting covers a field of related expertise. Each type of expertise demands a given specialty. Unlike the Survival Skill, this secondary Ability deals specifically with predatory skill-sets. You could use its specialties to follow a target without being spotted (Shadowing), spot traces of your chosen prey (Tracking), dismantle a dead body without spoiling the meat (Dressing the Kill), and perform other feats that go beyond mere survival. These specialties replace an array of secondary Abilities from earlier editions of Mage. To be skilled with those disciplines, simply purchase those specialties. Assuming your Storyteller’s consent, the well-skilled craftsman option (Mage 20, p. 279) may apply.","• Novice: Weekend warrior.","•• Practiced: Rural native.","••• Skillful: Practical provider.","•••• Expert: Full-time hunter.","••••• Master: Ted Nugent wishes he were you.",{"type":"header","text":"Possessed by","level":4},"Survivalists, Sportsmen, Country Folk, Kids Raised by Old-School Parents, Wilderness Explorers, Witches, Special Forces Experts, Vison-Questers, Vagabonds",{"type":"header","text":"Specialties","level":4},"Shadowing, Tracking, Trapping, Dressing the Kill, Minimal Gear, Traditional Practices, Environmental Impact, Bow- or Spear-Hunting, Big Game, Otherworldly Prey, Environments (woodlands, mountains, jungles, cities, etc.)"],"dots":[{"dots":"•","text":"Novice: Weekend warrior."},{"dots":"••","text":"Practiced: Rural native."},{"dots":"•••","text":"Skillful: Practical provider."},{"dots":"••••","text":"Expert: Full-time hunter."},{"dots":"•••••","text":"Master: Ted Nugent wishes he were you."}],"possessed_by":"Survivalists, Sportsmen, Country Folk, Kids Raised by Old-School Parents, Wilderness Explorers, Witches, Special Forces Experts, Vison-Questers, Vagabonds","specialties":["Shadowing","Tracking","Trapping","Dressing the Kill","Minimal Gear","Traditional Practices","Environmental Impact","Bow- or Spear-Hunting","Big Game","Otherworldly Prey","Environments (woodlands, mountains, jungles, cities, etc.)"],"_links":{"self":"/api/v1/records/shared/trait/secondary_ability/hunting","html":"/records/shared/trait/secondary_ability/hunting","parent":null,"children":"/api/v1/records/shared/trait/secondary_ability/hunting/children","sources":[{"abbr":"BoS","page":27,"folio":27,"title":"The Book of Secrets"}]},"_db":{"title":"Hunting","props":[["Type","Skill"]],"parent_id":null,"level":null,"category":"Skill","summary":"You score food old-school style: by tracking, trapping, spotting, stalking, killing, gutting, skinning, and packing it out yourself.
