Dearest friend LiOnHe@rT,

I think the trait you're thinking of is Bloodscent, a native trait of Gourks that allows them a low-level scouting ability. Scout is much better when you get it to higher levels.

As for the typos, I'm not sure who wrote that editor, or what their native language might be. I'm always impressed by the many people I've run into who speak English (or American, if you prefer) so much better than I speak their native languages.

My personal favorite translation typo was in a French movie of the story of Tristan and Isolda. On one subtitle, the phrase "mon Isolde blonde" (IIRC) was translated as "my blind Isolda". Unfortunately, those kinds of things are usually humorous for just a moment, and just when you're in the moment. Right now, for example, it still makes me snicker. 'Most everyone else reading this is probably wondering if I'm done yet... and I am.
