Notes:

1) First Aid bandages- Scouts are granted reusable bandages (strips of white cloth) which are tied
around a wounded limb and will provide limited healing after a 100 count. Note that it is a skill,
not magic. The count is made to pass the appropriate amount of time needed to actually bandage
a real wound. The wounded limb may then be used with the following restrictions: If used in
combat, the wound will return after a 100 count, or if a bandaged leg is used for running then the
wound will return after a 100 count. Any limb may be used for anything else (carrying something,
walking, etc.) but will be under the restrictions above until healed by magic. If the scout's
bandages are in use then he may do no more first aid until they are returned.
2) Special arrows: Flame (red ribbon)- it will destroy a shield if the shield is hit and then not
tapped upon the ground five times within 5 seconds of the hit. It will destroy a siege weapon with
2 hits.  Only 1 flame arrow may be lit at once, and the arrow will stay lit for 2 minutes before it
must be relit. Must say "flame arrow" x 5 to ignite. Stun (grey ribbon)- treat as a subdual blow.
Must say "stun arrow" x 5.
3) Obtain information- a subdued person may be asked one Yes/No question which he must
answer truthfully.
4) Cure Poison- say "cure poison" x 10 to cure a person already poisoned. This is a skill
5) Tracking- May ask one "yes or no" question about a specific game effect (who passed the area,
where an object is hidden, etc.). Reeves, dead people, neutral monsters, and players may be asked,
and must answer to the best of their abilities. This is nonmagical. It also grants scouts total
immunity to traps whether tracking is being used or not. May follow "teleporting" assassins.
Yields no immunity to scout entangle trap. 
6) Entangle trap- Scout must say "May mother nature bind thee" x 2, range is 20 ft. The victim
must cut at each leg 10 times before he is free. This Is not a magical effect. The scout is assumed
to have maneuvered the victim Into an area of uncertain footing. Monks and barbarians are not
immune.
