A pathfinder is a pioneer who specialises in finding routes up, through, over and out of forests, wastelands, mountains and other vast areas of the natural world, especially where there are no paths, roads or settlements. Using the suns and moons to navigate and relying on their experience to find a safe route, usually to and from a parties destination. Hired by citizens and heroes alike, a pathfinder is the most sought after individual when a party seeks to go where very few have gone before.
Pathfinders join any party willing to pay for their services, they shun military life, although will work for them if paid well, seeking to do the job to the best of the abelites and to keep everyone alive, out of self interest more than a sense of morality. Well armed, well trained, lightly armoured for manoeuvrability and flexibility, a preference for small, light weapons.
