Don’t thank me yet. Went looking around more while I was waiting for your answer. Mostly by digging around in The Dusky Dragon Inn — what a great homage to a childhood favorite! — and noticed that none of the Wildling stat blocks (in either the PH or DDI) have Alertness listed as an ability.
Regardless, I’m really enjoying HoA. Thanx for creating this game and sharing with the world!
