Just got the new Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion, so here's another early post.
Tracking (Finesse) <- This means that the skill (I'm calling them skills again) uses the Finesse and Fortune stats to determine the limits of the pool
Base TN of 5 requiring 4 Successes to find the trail and 2 to keep on it, adjusted according to the tables below. Meeting the Success requirements indicates the character is able to follow the trail for the (usually Adventure) Turn. Any additional Successes in a roll means the character is able to follow the trail for an number of Turns equal to the excess without needing to make another check. A failed check to keep on the trail requires a new roll to find it again. Only single check is allowed to find a trail, but multiple rolls on a single check is allowed. Multiple rolls are not allowed to keep on the trail except when the size of the pool is less than the number of required Successes. (Reminder: If a skill roll results in at least 1 Success but not the necessary number required, addition rolls of the pool are allowed as long as until a roll results in no Successes or the required number are achieved. Not all skills allow this.)
