If a character has negative hit points and is losing hit points (at the rate of 1 per round, 1 per hour, or 1 per day), you can make him or her stable. A stable character regains no hit points but stops losing them.</span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"><em></em></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"><em>Long-Term Care: </em>Providing long-term care means treating a wounded person for a day or more. If your Heal check is successful, the patient recovers hit points or ability score points (lost to ability damage) at twice the normal rate: 2 hit points per level for a full 8 hours of rest in a day, or 4 hit points per level for each full day of complete rest; 2 ability score points for a full 8 hours of rest in a day, or 4 ability score points for each full day of complete rest.</span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">You can tend as many as six patients at a time. You need a few items and supplies (bandages, salves, and so on) that are easy to come by in settled lands. Giving long-term care counts as light activity for the healer. You cannot give long-term care to yourself.</span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"><em></em></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"><em>Treat Wound from Caltrop, Spike Growth, or Spike Stones: </em>A creature wounded by stepping on a caltrop moves at one-half normal speed. A successful Heal check removes this movement penalty.</span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">A creature wounded by a <em>spike growth </em>or <em>spike stones </em>spell must succeed on a Reflex save or take injuries that reduce his speed by one-third. Another character can remove this penalty by taking 10 minutes to dress the victim’s injuries and succeeding on a Heal check against the spell’s save DC.</span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"><em></em></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"><em>Treat Poison: </em>To treat poison means to tend a single character who has been poisoned and who is going to take more damage from the poison (or suffer some other effect). Every time the poisoned character makes a saving throw against the poison, you make a Heal check. The poisoned character uses your check result or his or her saving throw, whichever is higher.</span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"><em></em></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"><em>Treat Disease: </em>To treat a disease means to tend a single diseased character.

The diseased character uses your check result or his or her saving throw, whichever is higher.</span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"><strong></strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Action:</strong> Providing first aid, treating a wound, or treating poison is a standard action. Treating a disease or tending a creature wounded by a <em>spike growth </em>or <em>spike stones </em>spell takes 10 minutes of work. Providing long-term care requires 8 hours of light activity.</span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"><strong></strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Try Again:</strong> Varies. Generally speaking, you can’t try a Heal check again without proof of the original check’s failure. You can always retry a check to provide first aid, assuming the target of the previous attempt is still alive.</span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"><strong></strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Special:</strong> A character with the Self-Sufficient feat gets a +2 bonus on Heal checks.</span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">A healer’s kit gives you a +2 circumstance bonus on Heal checks.</span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">[h=1]Hide (DEX; ARMOR CHECK PENALTY)[/h]</span><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Check:</strong> Your Hide check is opposed by the Spot check of anyone who might see you. You can move up to one-half your normal speed and hide at no penalty. When moving at a speed greater than one-half but less than your normal speed, you take a –5 penalty. It’s practically impossible (–20 penalty) to hide while attacking, running or charging.</span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">A creature larger or smaller than Medium takes a size bonus or penalty on Hide checks depending on its size category: Fine +16, Diminutive +12, Tiny +8, Small +4, Large –4, Huge –8, Gargantuan –12, Colossal –16.</span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">You need cover or concealment in order to attempt a Hide check. Total cover or total concealment usually (but not always; see Special, below) obviates the need for a Hide check, since nothing can see you anyway.</span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">If people are observing you, even casually, you can’t hide. You can run around a corner or behind cover so that you’re out of sight and then hide, but the others then know at least where you went.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">If your observers are momentarily distracted (such as by a Bluff check; see below), though, you can attempt to hide. While the others turn their attention from you, you can attempt a Hide check if you can get to a hiding place of some kind. (As a general guideline, the hiding place has to be within 1 foot per rank you have in Hide.) This check, however, is made at a –10 penalty because you have to move fast.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"><em>Sniping: </em>If you’ve already successfully hidden at least 10 feet from your target, you can make one ranged attack, then immediately hide again. You take a –20 penalty on your Hide check to conceal yourself after the shot.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"><em>Creating a Diversion to Hide: </em>You can use Bluff to help you hide. A successful Bluff check can give you the momentary diversion you need to attempt a Hide check while people are aware of you.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Action:</strong> Usually none. Normally, you make a Hide check as part of movement, so it doesn’t take a separate action. However, hiding immediately after a ranged attack (see Sniping, above) is a move action.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Special:</strong> If you are invisible, you gain a +40 bonus on Hide checks if you are immobile, or a +20 bonus on Hide checks if you’re moving.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">If you have the Stealthy feat, you get a +2 bonus on Hide checks.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">A 13th-level ranger can attempt a Hide check in any sort of natural terrain, even if it doesn’t grant cover or concealment. A 17thlevel ranger can do this even while being observed.</span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">[H=1]Intimidate (CHA)[/H]</span><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Check:</strong> You can change another’s behavior with a successful check. Your Intimidate check is opposed by the target’s modified level check (1d20 + character level or Hit Dice + target’s Wisdom bonus [if any] + target’s modifiers on saves against fear). If you beat your target’s check result, you may treat the target as friendly, but only for the purpose of actions taken while it remains intimidated. (That is, the target retains its normal attitude, but will chat, advise, offer limited help, or advocate on your behalf while intimidated. See the Diplomacy skill, above, for additional details.) The effect lasts as long as the target remains in your presence, and for 1d6×10 minutes afterward. After this time, the target’s default attitude toward you shifts to unfriendly (or, if normally unfriendly, to hostile).</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">If you fail the check by 5 or more, the target provides you with incorrect or useless information, or otherwise frustrates your efforts.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"><em>Demoralize Opponent: </em>You can also use Intimidate to weaken an opponent’s resolve in combat. To do so, make an Intimidate check opposed by the target’s modified level check (see above). If you win, the target becomes shaken for 1 round. A shaken character takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws. You can intimidate only an opponent that you threaten in melee combat and that can see you.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Action:</strong> Varies. Changing another’s behavior requires 1 minute of interaction. Intimidating an opponent in combat is a standard action.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Try Again:</strong> Optional, but not recommended because retries usually do not work. Even if the initial check succeeds, the other character can be intimidated only so far, and a retry doesn’t help. If the initial check fails, the other character has probably become more firmly resolved to resist the intimidator, and a retry is futile.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Special:</strong> You gain a +4 bonus on your Intimidate check for every size category that you are larger than your target. Conversely, you take a –4 penalty on your Intimidate check for every size category that you are smaller than your target.</span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">A character immune to fear can’t be intimidated, nor can nonintelligent creatures.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">If you have the Persuasive feat, you get a +2 bonus on Intimidate checks.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Synergy:</strong> If you have 5 or more ranks in Bluff, you get a +2 bonus on Intimidate checks.</span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">[H=1]Jump (STR; ARMOR CHECK PENALTY)[/H]</span><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Check:</strong> The DC and the distance you can cover vary according to the type of jump you are attempting (see below).</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">Your Jump check is modified by your speed. If your speed is 30 feet then no modifier based on speed applies to the check. If your speed is less than 30 feet, you take a –6 penalty for every 10 feet of speed less than 30 feet. If your speed is greater than 30 feet, you gain a +4 bonus for every 10 feet beyond 30 feet.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">All Jump DCs given here assume that you get a running start, which requires that you move at least 20 feet in a straight line before attempting the jump. If you do not get a running start, the DC for the jump is doubled.</span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">Distance moved by jumping is counted against your normal maximum movement in a round.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">If you have ranks in Jump and you succeed on a Jump check, you land on your feet (when appropriate). If you attempt a Jump check untrained, you land prone unless you beat the DC by 5 or more.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"><em>Long Jump: </em>A long jump is a horizontal jump, made across a gap like a chasm or stream. At the midpoint of the jump, you attain a vertical height equal to one-quarter of the horizontal distance.

If you fail the check by less than 5, you don’t clear the distance, but you can make a DC 15 Reflex save to grab the far edge of the gap. You end your movement grasping the far edge.

Performing a minor feat of legerdemain, such as making a coin disappear, also has a DC of 10 unless an observer is determined to note where the item went.</span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">When you use this skill under close observation, your skill check is opposed by the observer’s Spot check.

Your Sleight of Hand check is opposed by the Spot check of anyone observing you or the Search check of anyone frisking you. In the latter case, the searcher gains a +4 bonus on the Search check, since it’s generally easier to find such an object than to hide it. A dagger is easier to hide than most light weapons, and grants you a +2 bonus on your Sleight of Hand check to conceal it. An extraordinarily small object, such as a coin, shuriken, or ring, grants you a +4 bonus on your Sleight of Hand check to conceal it, and heavy or baggy clothing (such as a cloak) grants you a +2 bonus on the check.</span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">Drawing a hidden weapon is a standard action and doesn’t provoke an attack of opportunity.</span></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000000">If you try to take something from another creature, you must make a DC 20 Sleight of Hand check to obtain it.

If a character has negative hit points and is losing hit points (at the rate of 1 per round, 1 per hour, or 1 per day), you can make him or her stable. A stable character regains no hit points but stops losing them.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][I] Long-Term Care: [/I]Providing long-term care means treating a wounded person for a day or more. If your Heal check is successful, the patient recovers hit points or ability score points (lost to ability damage) at twice the normal rate: 2 hit points per level for a full 8 hours of rest in a day, or 4 hit points per level for each full day of complete rest; 2 ability score points for a full 8 hours of rest in a day, or 4 ability score points for each full day of complete rest.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] You can tend as many as six patients at a time. You need a few items and supplies (bandages, salves, and so on) that are easy to come by in settled lands. Giving long-term care counts as light activity for the healer. You cannot give long-term care to yourself.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][I] Treat Wound from Caltrop, Spike Growth, or Spike Stones: [/I]A creature wounded by stepping on a caltrop moves at one-half normal speed. A successful Heal check removes this movement penalty.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]A creature wounded by a [I]spike growth [/I]or [I]spike stones [/I]spell must succeed on a Reflex save or take injuries that reduce his speed by one-third. Another character can remove this penalty by taking 10 minutes to dress the victim’s injuries and succeeding on a Heal check against the spell’s save DC.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][I] Treat Poison: [/I]To treat poison means to tend a single character who has been poisoned and who is going to take more damage from the poison (or suffer some other effect). Every time the poisoned character makes a saving throw against the poison, you make a Heal check. The poisoned character uses your check result or his or her saving throw, whichever is higher.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][I] Treat Disease: [/I]To treat a disease means to tend a single diseased character. Every time he or she makes a saving throw against disease effects, you make a Heal check. The diseased character uses your check result or his or her saving throw, whichever is higher.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][B] Action:[/B] Providing first aid, treating a wound, or treating poison is a standard action. Treating a disease or tending a creature wounded by a [I]spike growth [/I]or [I]spike stones [/I]spell takes 10 minutes of work. Providing long-term care requires 8 hours of light activity.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][B] Try Again:[/B] Varies. Generally speaking, you can’t try a Heal check again without proof of the original check’s failure. You can always retry a check to provide first aid, assuming the target of the previous attempt is still alive.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][B] Special:[/B] A character with the Self-Sufficient feat gets a +2 bonus on Heal checks.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] A healer’s kit gives you a +2 circumstance bonus on Heal checks.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][h=1]Hide (DEX; ARMOR CHECK PENALTY)[/h][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][B]Check:[/B] Your Hide check is opposed by the Spot check of anyone who might see you. You can move up to one-half your normal speed and hide at no penalty. When moving at a speed greater than one-half but less than your normal speed, you take a –5 penalty. It’s practically impossible (–20 penalty) to hide while attacking, running or charging.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] A creature larger or smaller than Medium takes a size bonus or penalty on Hide checks depending on its size category: Fine +16, Diminutive +12, Tiny +8, Small +4, Large –4, Huge –8, Gargantuan –12, Colossal –16.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] You need cover or concealment in order to attempt a Hide check. Total cover or total concealment usually (but not always; see Special, below) obviates the need for a Hide check, since nothing can see you anyway.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] If people are observing you, even casually, you can’t hide. You can run around a corner or behind cover so that you’re out of sight and then hide, but the others then know at least where you went. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]If your observers are momentarily distracted (such as by a Bluff check; see below), though, you can attempt to hide. While the others turn their attention from you, you can attempt a Hide check if you can get to a hiding place of some kind. (As a general guideline, the hiding place has to be within 1 foot per rank you have in Hide.) This check, however, is made at a –10 penalty because you have to move fast. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][I]Sniping: [/I]If you’ve already successfully hidden at least 10 feet from your target, you can make one ranged attack, then immediately hide again. You take a –20 penalty on your Hide check to conceal yourself after the shot. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][I]Creating a Diversion to Hide: [/I]You can use Bluff to help you hide. A successful Bluff check can give you the momentary diversion you need to attempt a Hide check while people are aware of you. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][B]Action:[/B] Usually none. Normally, you make a Hide check as part of movement, so it doesn’t take a separate action. However, hiding immediately after a ranged attack (see Sniping, above) is a move action. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][B]Special:[/B] If you are invisible, you gain a +40 bonus on Hide checks if you are immobile, or a +20 bonus on Hide checks if you’re moving. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]If you have the Stealthy feat, you get a +2 bonus on Hide checks. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]A 13th-level ranger can attempt a Hide check in any sort of natural terrain, even if it doesn’t grant cover or concealment. A 17thlevel ranger can do this even while being observed.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][H=1]Intimidate (CHA)[/H][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][B]Check:[/B] You can change another’s behavior with a successful check. Your Intimidate check is opposed by the target’s modified level check (1d20 + character level or Hit Dice + target’s Wisdom bonus [if any] + target’s modifiers on saves against fear). If you beat your target’s check result, you may treat the target as friendly, but only for the purpose of actions taken while it remains intimidated. (That is, the target retains its normal attitude, but will chat, advise, offer limited help, or advocate on your behalf while intimidated. See the Diplomacy skill, above, for additional details.) The effect lasts as long as the target remains in your presence, and for 1d6×10 minutes afterward. After this time, the target’s default attitude toward you shifts to unfriendly (or, if normally unfriendly, to hostile). [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]If you fail the check by 5 or more, the target provides you with incorrect or useless information, or otherwise frustrates your efforts. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][I]Demoralize Opponent: [/I]You can also use Intimidate to weaken an opponent’s resolve in combat. To do so, make an Intimidate check opposed by the target’s modified level check (see above). If you win, the target becomes shaken for 1 round. A shaken character takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws. You can intimidate only an opponent that you threaten in melee combat and that can see you. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][B]Action:[/B] Varies. Changing another’s behavior requires 1 minute of interaction. Intimidating an opponent in combat is a standard action. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][B]Try Again:[/B] Optional, but not recommended because retries usually do not work. Even if the initial check succeeds, the other character can be intimidated only so far, and a retry doesn’t help. If the initial check fails, the other character has probably become more firmly resolved to resist the intimidator, and a retry is futile. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][B]Special:[/B] You gain a +4 bonus on your Intimidate check for every size category that you are larger than your target. Conversely, you take a –4 penalty on your Intimidate check for every size category that you are smaller than your target.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]A character immune to fear can’t be intimidated, nor can nonintelligent creatures. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]If you have the Persuasive feat, you get a +2 bonus on Intimidate checks. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][B]Synergy:[/B] If you have 5 or more ranks in Bluff, you get a +2 bonus on Intimidate checks.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][H=1]Jump (STR; ARMOR CHECK PENALTY)[/H][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][B]Check:[/B] The DC and the distance you can cover vary according to the type of jump you are attempting (see below). [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]Your Jump check is modified by your speed. If your speed is 30 feet then no modifier based on speed applies to the check. If your speed is less than 30 feet, you take a –6 penalty for every 10 feet of speed less than 30 feet. If your speed is greater than 30 feet, you gain a +4 bonus for every 10 feet beyond 30 feet. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]All Jump DCs given here assume that you get a running start, which requires that you move at least 20 feet in a straight line before attempting the jump. If you do not get a running start, the DC for the jump is doubled.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]Distance moved by jumping is counted against your normal maximum movement in a round. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]If you have ranks in Jump and you succeed on a Jump check, you land on your feet (when appropriate). If you attempt a Jump check untrained, you land prone unless you beat the DC by 5 or more. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][I]Long Jump: [/I]A long jump is a horizontal jump, made across a gap like a chasm or stream. At the midpoint of the jump, you attain a vertical height equal to one-quarter of the horizontal distance. The DC for the jump is equal to the distance jumped (in feet).

A successful Ride check increases the mount’s speed by 10 feet for 1 round but deals 1 point of damage to the creature.

You do not need to roll for warhorses or warponies.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][I] Fast Mount or Dismount: [/I]You can attempt to mount or dismount from a mount of up to one size category larger than yourself as a free action, provided that you still have a move action available that round.

You can’t use fast mount or dismount on a mount more than one size category larger than yourself.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][B] Action:[/B] Varies. Mounting or dismounting normally is a move action.

The usual DC is 25, but if the target is dominated (see [I]dominate person[/I]), the DC is only 15 because of the limited range of the target’s activities.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][I] Discern Secret Message: [/I]You may use Sense Motive to detect that a hidden message is being transmitted via the Bluff skill. In this case, your Sense Motive check is opposed by the Bluff check of the character transmitting the message. For each piece of information relating to the message that you are missing, you take a –2 penalty on your Sense Motive check. If you succeed by 4 or less, you know that something hidden is being communicated, but you can’t learn anything specific about its content.

Performing a minor feat of legerdemain, such as making a coin disappear, also has a DC of 10 unless an observer is determined to note where the item went.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] When you use this skill under close observation, your skill check is opposed by the observer’s Spot check. The observer’s success doesn’t prevent you from performing the action, just from doing it unnoticed.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] You can hide a small object (including a light weapon or an easily concealed ranged weapon, such as a dart, sling, or hand crossbow) on your body. Your Sleight of Hand check is opposed by the Spot check of anyone observing you or the Search check of anyone frisking you. In the latter case, the searcher gains a +4 bonus on the Search check, since it’s generally easier to find such an object than to hide it. A dagger is easier to hide than most light weapons, and grants you a +2 bonus on your Sleight of Hand check to conceal it. An extraordinarily small object, such as a coin, shuriken, or ring, grants you a +4 bonus on your Sleight of Hand check to conceal it, and heavy or baggy clothing (such as a cloak) grants you a +2 bonus on the check.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] Drawing a hidden weapon is a standard action and doesn’t provoke an attack of opportunity.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] If you try to take something from another creature, you must make a DC 20 Sleight of Hand check to obtain it. The opponent makes a Spot check to detect the attempt, opposed by the same Sleight of Hand check result you achieved when you tried to grab the item. An opponent who succeeds on this check notices the attempt, regardless of whether you got the item.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] You can also use Sleight of Hand to entertain an audience as though you were using the Perform skill.

Sometimes a creature isn’t intentionally hiding but is still difficult to see, so a successful Spot check is necessary to notice it.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] A Spot check result higher than 20 generally lets you become aware of an invisible creature near you, though you can’t actually see it.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] Spot is also used to detect someone in disguise (see the Disguise skill), and to read lips when you can’t hear or understand what someone is saying.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] Spot checks may be called for to determine the distance at which an encounter begins.

(This use of the skill is language-dependent.) The base DC is 15, but it increases for complex speech or an inarticulate speaker. You must maintain a line of sight to the lips being read.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] If your Spot check succeeds, you can understand the general content of a minute’s worth of speaking, but you usually still miss certain details. If the check fails by 4 or less, you can’t read the speaker’s lips. If the check fails by 5 or more, you draw some incorrect conclusion about the speech. The check is rolled secretly in this case, so that you don’t know whether you succeeded or missed by 5.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][B] Action: [/B]Varies. Every time you have a chance to spot something in a reactive manner you can make a Spot check without using an action. Trying to spot something you failed to see previously is a move action. To read lips, you must concentrate for a full minute before making a Spot check, and you can’t perform any other action (other than moving at up to half speed) during this minute.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][B] Try Again:[/B] Yes.

For getting along in the wild or for gaining the Fortitude save bonus noted in the table above, you make a Survival check once every 24 hours. The result of that check applies until the next check is made. To avoid getting lost or avoid natural hazards, you make a Survival check whenever the situation calls for one. Retries to avoid getting lost in a specific situation or to avoid a specific natural hazard are not allowed.

If you fail by 5 or more, you go underwater.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] If you are underwater, either because you failed a Swim check or because you are swimming underwater intentionally, you must hold your breath. You can hold your breath for a number of rounds equal to your Constitution score, but only if you do nothing other than take move actions or free actions. If you take a standard action or a full-round action (such as making an attack), the remainder of the duration for which you can hold your breath is reduced by 1 round. (Effectively, a character in combat can hold his or her breath only half as long as normal.)

You can activate such an item as if you were using the activation word, thought, or action, even when you’re not and even if you don’t know it. You do have to perform some equivalent activity in order to make the check. That is, you must speak, wave the item around, or otherwise attempt to get it to activate. You get a special +2 bonus on your Use Magic Device check if you’ve activated the item in question at least once before. If you fail by 9 or less, you can’t activate the device. If you fail by 10 or more, you suffer a mishap. A mishap means that magical energy gets released but it doesn’t do what you wanted it to do. The default mishaps are that the item affects the wrong target or that uncontrolled magical energy is released, dealing 2d6 points of damage to you. This mishap is in addition to the chance for a mishap that you normally run when you cast a spell from a scroll that you could not otherwise cast yourself.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][I] Decipher a Written Spell: [/I]This usage works just like deciphering a written spell with the Spellcraft skill, except that the DC is 5 points higher. Deciphering a written spell requires 1 minute of concentration.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][I] Emulate an Ability Score: [/I]To cast a spell from a scroll, you need a high score in the appropriate ability (Intelligence for wizard spells, Wisdom for divine spells, or Charisma for sorcerer or bard spells). Your effective ability score (appropriate to the class you’re emulating when you try to cast the spell from the scroll) is your Use Magic Device check result minus 15. If you already have a high enough score in the appropriate ability, you don’t need to make this check.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][I] Emulate an Alignment: [/I]Some magic items have positive or negative effects based on the user’s alignment. Use Magic Device lets you use these items as if you were of an alignment of your choice. You can emulate only one alignment at a time.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][I] Emulate a Class Feature: [/I]Sometimes you need to use a class feature to activate a magic item. In this case, your effective level in the emulated class equals your Use Magic Device check result minus 20. This skill does not let you actually use the class feature of another class. It just lets you activate items as if you had that class feature. If the class whose feature you are emulating has an alignment requirement, you must meet it, either honestly or by emulating an appropriate alignment with a separate Use Magic Device check (see above).[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][I] Emulate a Race: [/I]Some magic items work only for members of certain races, or work better for members of those races. You can use such an item as if you were a race of your choice. You can emulate only one race at a time.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][I] Use a Scroll: [/I]If you are casting a spell from a scroll, you have to decipher it first. Normally, to cast a spell from a scroll, you must have the scroll’s spell on your class spell list. Use Magic Device allows you to use a scroll as if you had a particular spell on your class spell list. The DC is equal to 20 + the caster level of the spell you are trying to cast from the scroll. In addition, casting a spell from a scroll requires a minimum score (10 + spell level) in the appropriate ability. If you don’t have a sufficient score in that ability, you must emulate the ability score with a separate Use Magic Device check (see above).[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] This use of the skill also applies to other spell completion magic items.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][I] Use a Wand: [/I]Normally, to use a wand, you must have the wand’s spell on your class spell list. This use of the skill allows you to use a wand as if you had a particular spell on your class spell list. This use of the skill also applies to other spell trigger magic items, such as staffs.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][B] Action:[/B] None. The Use Magic Device check is made as part of the action (if any) required to activate the magic item.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][B] Try Again:[/B] Yes, but if you ever roll a natural 1 while attempting to activate an item and you fail, then you can’t try to activate that item again for 24 hours.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][B] Special:[/B] You cannot take 10 with this skill.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] You can’t aid another on Use Magic Device checks. Only the user of the item may attempt such a check.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] If you have the Magical Aptitude feat, you get a +2 bonus on Use Magic Device checks.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][B] Synergy:[/B] If you have 5 or more ranks in Spellcraft, you get a +2 bonus on Use Magic Device checks related to scrolls.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] If you have 5 or more ranks in Decipher Script, you get a +2 bonus on Use Magic Device checks related to scrolls.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] If you have 5 or more ranks in Use Magic Device, you get a +2 bonus to Spellcraft checks made to decipher spells on scrolls.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][h=1]Use Rope (DEX)[/h][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][B]Check:[/B] Most tasks with a rope are relatively simple.

Failure by 4 or less indicates that the hook fails to catch and falls, allowing you to try again. Failure by 5 or more indicates that the grappling hook initially holds, but comes loose after 1d4 rounds of supporting weight. This check is made secretly, so that you don’t know whether the rope will hold your weight.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][I] Bind a Character: [/I]When you bind another character with a rope, any Escape Artist check that the bound character makes is opposed by your Use Rope check.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] You get a +10 bonus on this check because it is easier to bind someone than to escape from bonds. You don’t even make your Use Rope check until someone tries to escape.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][B] Action:[/B] Varies. Throwing a grappling hook is a standard action that provokes an attack of opportunity. Tying a knot, tying a special knot, or tying a rope around yourself one-handed is a full-round action that provokes an attack of opportunity. Splicing two ropes together takes 5 minutes. Binding a character takes 1 minute.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][B] Special:[/B] A silk rope gives you a +2 circumstance bonus on Use Rope checks.
