I vote no.

I take the same stance to the question as Bebop.


Good post BTW.


Its true though. USE THE RANGERS FOLKS!

I play rangers often. And my rangers make damm sure to have at least one good warrior friend and one good city sneaky type friend.


Wanna know why? Because he can't do what they can...DUH.
A gaunt, yellow-skinned gith shrieks in fear, and hauls ass.

The whole thing with sandstorms is that they deprive you of your usual senses of sight, sound, and if you aren't careful enough, your orientation. Most sandstorms should not be storms in which you want to go pathfinding, they should be storms where you find a lee or a rock and hunker down while the storm finishes.

The skill is actually you and your memory as a player. I've gotten lost before all number of times, including in sandstorms and at night in the game. Can't remember where I was, and lost my orientation. Should be the same for characters.
