Description
Any skill that relies heavily on the ability to apprehend fine details that would otherwise go unnoticed in a situation, such as reading lips; detecting traps, secret doors or passages; appraisal; body language; or cryptography. Perception skills always reflect knowledge that can be learned through practice; for example, a character might use Perception in the study of dangerous dig sites to know what telltale signs to look for when exploring trapped tombs. If you have Perception, you receive a +2 to initiative.
