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. The reductions of skill levels to terrain penalties can be seen from the table on the left.
| Terrain type | Pathfinding skill | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| None | Basic | Advanced | Expert | |
| Dirt, Grass, Lava, Subterranean | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% |
| Rough | 125% | 100% | 100% | 100% |
| Sand, Snow | 150% | 125% | 100% | 100% |
| Swamp | 175% | 150% | 125% | 100% |
