[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 8356089, member: 58172"] It occurs to me, a Charisma (History) check is alot like the 4e Streetwise check. Heh, I know, I do! I make a point to emphasize, Perception isnt a knowledge check. It is only the ability to perceive some subtle sensory input. What that visual information means wont always be obvious. Ideally, I would want characters to make an Intelligence (Stealth) skill check to try find someone that is hiding. The idea is, they understand how to hide, and know what clues to look for, when scanning for someone else who is hiding. But as of now, I use the Perception skill to find, because it is part of the Passive Perception in the statblocks. To identify a potion by a smell test as an action, I would want an Arcana check. (If they spent a short rest with a magic item, they would automatically identify it.) To identify a poison, I would want a Medicine skill check or Poisoners tool check. [/QUOTE]
