Urban Tracking (Bonus Feat)

Anyone can track using the Survival skill in Pathfinder. Therefore, it follows that anyone can Urban Track (like the 3.5 variant feat) using Knowledge: Local. This is pretty important in an urban campaign. You can assume you can do this, or you can add this to your character sheet as a bonus feat. Here's my re-jiggering of the feat:

Urban Tracking [General] [Bonus]

You can track down the location of missing persons or wanted individuals within communities.

Benefit

To find the trail of an individual or to follow it for 1 hour requires a Knowledge: Local check. You must make another Knowledge: Local check every hour of the search, as well as each time the trail becomes difficult to follow, such as when it moves to a different area of town.

The DC of the check, and the number of checks required to track down your quarry, depends on the community size and the conditions:

If you fail a Knowledge: Local check, you can retry after 1 hour of questioning. The game master should roll the number of checks required secretly, so that the player doesn't know exactly how long the task will require.

Special

A ranger with Favored Terrain: Urban gains a bonus equal to half his level on the Knowledge: Local check to use this feat.

You can cut the time between Knowledge: Local checks in half (to 30 minutes per check rather than 1 hour), but you take a -5 penalty on the check.

DM's Note: In Iron Crown, if you can narrow down the ward they're located in, you change the Community Size DC to small or large city.
