===== Underworld Survival =====

Underworld survival includes caves and caverns and more natural underground environments. It could include dungeons as well if those dungeons are dug underground rather than constructed. 

==== First Degree ====

^ Mining | The character has a knowledge of mining equipment and how to use it. They are considered proficient with a pickaxe or hammer. |
^ Finding Water | The character has a knack for finding natural water underground if there is water to be found. |
^ Spelunking | The character is proficient with spelunking equipment. |

==== Second Degree ====

^ Appraising | The character can effectively appraise the worth of raw gemstones. They also have a good sense, based on materials they can see in an area, what other gems and minerals are likely common to the area where they are. |
^ Poisonous Gases | The character can detect poisonous gases with a successful skill check. |
^ Detecting Slope | They can detect the current grade or slope of the passage in which they are traveling, and, when starting at the surface, they have a fairly accurate sense of how far below the surface they are. |

==== Third Degree ====

^ Direction Sense | The character has a good sense of their current direction underground. |
^ Passage of Time | The character has a good sense of the passage of time underground. |
^ Finding the Surface | The character has a knack for finding the surface in an area, even if they didn't start at the surface nor have even seen the surface in the area they currently are.  |

==== Fourth Degree ====

^ Animal Empathy | They understand what an underground creature is likely thinking based on the current circumstances in which it finds itself and what its reactions are likely to be. |
^ Attuned Senses | If the character finds themselves without the ability to see in an underground setting, they can use their other senses to compensate, reducing any dice penalties by two. (If the character already has blindfighting, they should use that instead.) |

=== Fifth Degree ====

^ Animal Friendship | With intelligent underground creatures, they may use their Persuasion dice to ask favors of underground creatures though the favors have to be something the creature might be willing to do. |
^ Internal Map | The character automatically creates an internal map in their heads and can use that to help with the discovery of secret passages or to find their way back out the way they came. |
