Hunting is a very useful Kai Discipline, as it allows Lone Wolf to substitute using this Discipline in place of consuming a Meal, thus saving on Backpack space. However, since the ability to hunt relies on the location, it isn't always available to use, especially in wastelands or very foreign areas.
Hunting also has several extra uses. It allows Lone Wolf to identify some harmful substances and edible fruits, and provides knowledge about animals and their habits. It functions as a "Sneaking" skill. Finally, it reduces the penalties when Lone Wolf is ambushed or surprised. It is one of the most versatile and consistently useful Kai Disciplines.
The Magnakai and Grand Master versions of this discipline are Huntmastery and Grand Huntmastery.
