Custom Profession

Marine Scout: As a marine scout the practitioner is adept in using their senses to scout ahead. Their eyes are trained on looking farther than normal. They also have tracking capabilities in that they notice tracks left by others easier than others as par their training in scouting locations out. As part of scouting they’re also accustom to using scouting tools such as a shovel, binoculars, and a machete for cutting terrain. Being a primary scout allows you to use your scouting tools proficiently enough as weapons. Additionally, primary scouts are trained in botany and can use plants for various reasons.

Traits:

Scouting Eyes: Trained eyes that can see farther than others not trained in the art of scouting. (1 trait)

Tracker: Able to track the movements of an animal or another person in terrain. (1 trait)

The botany part seems to be out of left field. Traits emulate the professional bonuses of other primary professions as would be the case with the Herbalist trait are also not widely accepted (since there'd be no reason to go for it in the first place, given that 2 professional traits are generally cheaper than advancing into a primary for 50 SD and taking say, Jack of All Trades as well).

Getting proficiency with scouting tools as part of the primary is a good direction, though I feel it seems a bit limited given there aren't that many things that I'd call scouting-based weapons besides maybe axes, torches, machetes and I dunno spears, maybe?

Also, those first two traits don't really tell me much in terms of their usage within the system, are they like super sense techniques or would they be part of the tracking techniques that you pitched earlier?
