General Rules: Feats - Lookout

Lookout [General] (adapted from the Seafarer's Handbook)
You are capable of spotting creatures, vessels. and other objects from a great distance, provided you have an elevated position from which to survey your surroundings.
   Benefit: For every five feet of elevation above the terrain you are observing, you triple the distance you can see without penalty to your Spot checks. For example, if you were standing in a 10-foot-tall crow's nest, you could see up to 60 feet without penalty, or up to 120 feet at a -1 penalty, up to 240 feet at a -2 penalty, and so on.
   Normal: You incur a -1 penalty for every 10 feet of distance between yourself and the creature or object you are attempting to Spot.
