Pathfinding
	Basic Pathfinding: reduces the movement penalty for rough terrain by 25%.
	Advanced Pathfinding: reduces the movement penalty for rough terrain by 50%.
	Expert Pathfinding: reduces the movement penalty for rough terrain by 75%.

Pathfinding is a secondary skill, that reduces the movement penalty for rough terrains. A hero with expert pathfinding secondary skills treats all terrains as grass, which means that the hero suffers no penalty for crossing rough, sand, snow or swamp terrain types. Penalty reductions from the skill level are tabulated below.

Terrain penalties with different levels of Pathfinding:
Terrain	None	Basic	Advanced	Expert
Dirt Grass Lava Subterranean Highlands	100%	100%	100%	100%
Rough Wasteland	125%	100%	100%	100%
Sand Snow	150%	125%	100%	100%
Swamp	175%	150%	125%	100%

Heroes with Pathfinding as a starting skill:

Clancy the Ranger (Basic)
Gretchin the Barbarian (Basic)
Korbac the Beastmaster (Basic)
Andal the Navigator (Basic)

Importance of Pathfinding skill depends on the terrain of the map. If you walk primarily on your home soil, Logistics is sufficient. However, if a map has vast territories very hard to pass (e.g. swamp), Pathfinding works decently. Playing against Tower or Fortress is a reason to use Logistics and Pathfinding.

Things that ruin Pathfinding

An army on native terrain
Nomad's on sand terrain
Dimension Door
Fly
Angel Wings
Wayfarer's Boots
Lodestar makes all terrains native to Cove armies
