Should they?

I honestly can't decide. I think scouts need something, because they're horrible if you don't join a tribunal for the extra NPC and its damage output/tanking.

But I'm not sure trip is what they need.

I had another idea, but im 0-9 for ideas lol. What about an ability to take the herbs that cause sleep, or wounds, and grind them into some sort of aplicant that they can "poison their arrows with" like curse, poison and the works. Or give them a multi shot ability which allows them to hit the first 3 targets in a group

Spearbow! A bow that is also a spear, shafting your foes in two different ways!

To be perfectly honest, I thought scouts already had trip, and I also thought they were underpowered. So yeah, give them trip.

I think it would be hilarious if scouts could Farm Herbs. They could go into a field in the world map and plant a single herb in that square, then about a month later the herb has grown into a field of about a dozen such herbs which can be harvested. The scout could then replant one of those herbs and keep the rest to himself.

This would be even more hilarious for the fact that enemy scouts could hunt through fields for other farms and harvest the herbs for themselves. You would have to put a reasonable limit on the number of farms any given scout could have.

It makes sense to give them some sort of immobilizing skill. They can rescue and you would be useless front row without such a skill. Plus I think it would be great for solo training anyway, even the Trip helpfile states you can trip with an arrow.
[Skills help] trip

Syntax: trip <victim>

Trip is a common skill used by melee fighters to knock an opponent off his
feet. Generally opponents must be facing each other directly to use trip, but
a ranged weapon can also be used to initiate it. Many factors determine the
success or failure of a trip but size and dexterity play important roles.
You cannot trip a person who is flying.

p.s.
does this also mean you can trip from a room away?
