Description
Perception is general awareness and sensory acuity — noticing details, spotting hidden things, and picking up on things others might miss.
Common Uses
- Spotting a hidden object, person, or passage
- Noticing an ambush or a tail
- Picking up on a lie or a tell (opposed against Deception)
- General "what do I notice" checks in a scene
Notes
Perception is one of the most frequently rolled skills in the game, since GMs use it to gate information the players need to notice in a scene.
