I'm converting some prestige classes in Testament to Pathfinder. I've come across one, the Desert Hermit, that has Track as a bonus feat at 2nd level. What would be a good replacement? The Skill Focus (Survival) feat, a flat bonus to Survival checks made to follow or identify tracks, or something else? I was thinking of replacing it with Favoured Terrain (Desert), like the Ranger ability, but how will that work is a Ranger takes this Prestige Class, particularly one that already has Favoured Terrain (Desert)?

Just copy the ranger's version of track: add half level to survival checks to track.

But, again, what happens when a ranger with Track takes this Prestige Class and gets Track again? Does the Track ability from the Prestige Class get ignored, or does it stack with the ranger's Track ability?

I would have it stack, much like the Arcane Trickster's and Assassin's sneak attack. You can probably even use the same style of wording.
