How doe burrow speed work? Can the PCs see where they are going?

Example, Sorcerer of the Earth Elemental Bloodline. At 15th level, gains a burrow speed, but no special notes regarding how it functions.

You're traveling blind unless you develop something like tremorsense. Or some ability that lets you see through earth.


yep, my dm kept getting my tunnles end in the sewer or the old lady bathroom to teach me not to walk through walls. next toon was a horizon walker with the etheral jount ability ;)


Survival skill let's you know direction. Couple that with Knowledge (geography, dungeoneering) and a character should be able to have a pretty good general idea about where he is going. Where he actually pops out of the ground is going to be dictated as much by his movement rate as anything. Keep in mind that 5 feet down or up counts against movement.

Also, a person burrowing underground is going to displace a lot of earth, ala Bugs Bunny. So, unless he goes down pretty deep (30 feet or more) his movement will not be hidden from anyone.
