Perception skill

Ways to Train

• Juggling
• Searching
• Noticing people or creatures acting stealthy. Creatures that ambush include the Sleazy Lout, Clouded Arzumos, Vicious/Long-fanged/Sabre-toothed Warcat, Golden Pard, Sinuous Elsralael, and Armadillo.
• Catching someone stealing
• Running Ranger trails
• Foraging
• Disarming traps

Uses

• Finding hidden creatures and people.
  • Hiding and stalking skill do not help you see somebody hide or stalk. Seeing somebody hide is harder than searching them out afterward. (GameMaster Zeyurn)
• Finding and disarming traps.
• Locating hidden paths, such as the trail into Forest Geni.
• Foraging (provides a small bonus to foraging skill)
• Nearly 100 Titles require Perception ranks.

Abilities and Spells that boost Perception

• Clear Vision spell
• Eye of Kertigen spell
• Wolf Scent spell
• Revelation spell
• Khri Sight
• Khri Safe
• Khri Skulk
• Eagle dance
• Glyph of Light

Miscellaneous

Perception skill is reduced at nighttime unless using a dark-vision ability, such as Khri Sight. This change occurred Summer of 2007.

Wisdom is confirmed to aid perception in some way.
