[QUOTE="Cyberzombie, post: 287659, member: 47"] [b]Intuit Direction[/b] Teaser #1 -- an expanded version of Intuit Direction that is, dare I say it, an actually USEFUL skill. ;) (After two tries, I am giving up on the table below. It has only two columns, anyway -- one for Range, and the other for Obstructions.) [b]Intuit Direction (Wis; Trained Only) [/b] You have an innate sense of direction. Standard Check: As in the Core Rules. Magical Check: Using a focusing item of your choice (such as a forked stick, spyglass, or compass) you can use your sense of direction to find a creature, object, location, or magical aura. The DC for your check is usually 20; magically hidden items may have higher DCs. Each time you use this ability, you spend 1 magic point. You can only choose one subject per use. The duration of each use is concentration, or up to 1 minute/spellcaster level. The range you can search depends on the obstruction in your way: [b]Range Obstructions[/b] Long (400 ft. +40 ft./level) None Medium (100 ft. +10 ft./level) Wood or dirt, such as in a forest, through soil, or in most towns Close (25 ft. +5 ft./2 levels) Stone or metal, such as in a castle or dungeon You can search for creatures by type (such as animal, beast, plant, or undead) by species (such as badger, griffon, poppy, or skeleton) or for a specific individual.
