You have a preternatural instinct for understanding the terrain, interpreting maps, and planning routes. You and your party can move at three-fourths your speed over difficult terrain during long-distance travel. Because of these skills, if you know your destination and the intervening terrain--either by reputation, by sight, or by maps you have seen--you are able to identify an effective short-cut, trimming your travel time by up to half. Your GM may rule that your short-cut entails significant danger or may be temporarily impassable.
