Shepard:
Main tool:Skinning Knife

Sub tool:Aetherial Glove

Skinning Knife gathers skins/furs parts available off a dead corpse

Aetherial gloves uses life force to extract products of a creature like milk, secretion or even fresh eyes

Skills:
Animal Scent:Allows player to detect footprints

Detect:Allows user to continue path of footprint if going in right direction 50 GP

Observe: Searches for Corpse in circular radius around user 100 GP

Gather Rate effects the amount of footprints needed to find the corpse

Perception increases the radius of observe when used

Basiscally finding a node comes in steps.

Step 1 you find a footprint. Upon finding it you are under the effect of that footprint and follow the direction you are told to go in, depending on lv you will be given an idea of the distance between you and the next footprint

Step 2-? Use Detect to find additional footprints for the footprint you are currently locked on. You repeat this process until you are given a message like "The corpse is close by" upon seeing the last footprint

Step 3 Use observe to search around you to find the corpse and upon finding you have two options.
--Shepard would have two stances, Skinning stance, and Aetherial Stance. Said stance would determine which tool you use when gathering off the target corpse.--

Step 4 you go into either stance and gather off the target. Once done the corpse disappears and a new footprint(s) will be in the zone in which you can identity.

--Footprints would have unique artwork to them so the user would be able to tell which animal they are seeking as long as they have proper skill in identifying the animal they are seeking out--

--So if you find a footprint but it's not the animal you want you can skip it and find a new footprint til you find the one you want to seek out.
Posted this on another topic the other day, my thought was they could also obtain other pieces of materials that aren't skins like fluids, milk and parts of the body, rather than just be a skinner they could pretty much gain everything that can only be gained via battle classes atm.
