[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 6728135, member: 37579"] I tend to differentiate Investigate and Perception and testing the deduction power of the mind versus the strength of the senses. Anyone can see the windows on the house, only someone investigating will remember how many there are. Perception is seeing something far away, straining to hear distant voices, identifying an odd odour, feeling subtle variations in texture, noticing a slight change in temperature, etc. Times when the actual detection is not automatic and not everyone will even notice the details. You're checking how well they perceive things. Investigation is looking at things that are easily seen, and connecting the evidence. Anyone can see the slight scratch mark on the wall, but Investigation identifies it as the sign of a secret door. Anyone can see the broken glass on the floor, but Investigation reveals it was broken by a single firm object. You're checking how well they interpret the things they perceive. [/QUOTE]
