Appraise Skill

General Skills Rules:

• Taking 10: If you are not threatened or distracted you can take 10 on a roll.
• Taking 20: when you have plenty of time, 2 minutes or more and faced with no threats or distractions, you can take 20. This does not count as a ‘natural 20’ and indicate automatic success. Generally this takes 20 times longer than normal. You can’t take 20 on any check that has consequences for failure.
• “1” Rolls: When you roll a natural 1 on a skill check, roll D20 again. SUBTRACT this number from your check.
• “20” Rolls: When you roll a natural 20 on a skill check, roll D20 again. Add this number plus the 20 to your check.

Appraise (INT): Requires 1 minute, Quick Apprise: 1 Round Retries: None Synergy: +2 if you have 5 ranks in the required craft skill for that item.
