Survival is one of the five skills in Pillars of Eternity. It is used when it comes to situations where knowledge about the wilds, creatures, poisons and the like is in demand, and determines which resting bonuses a character may choose when camping.

In-game description

Survival allows characters to choose from a variety of long-term bonuses each time they camp. The first six ranks grant the following bonuses:

1 – Damage Reduction
2 – Received Healing Multiplier
3 – Bonus Movement
4 – Accuracy Bonus vs. Creature Type
5 – Increased Consumable Duration
6 – Bonus Damage vs. Flanked Enemies

After the sixth rank, the previously-earned bonuses become more powerful in the same order they were received.

Survival can also be used in conversations and scripted interactions that involve wilderness challenges or specialized information about nature.
