Identify Magic Items Meta-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.
Identify Magic Items: (Meta-skill: Appraise, knowledge, spellcraft) ((Appraise + Appropriate Knowledge (Religion, Arcane, Mysticism) + Spellcraft)/3) Retries: None until skills have increased. Requires: Usually one hour of study. Synergy: if you possess the corresponding Craft feat for the item you are trying to identify, you gain a +2 on the check to identify.
