Search

From Talus Wiki

Search is used to detect traps, find hidden objects, and secret doors.

• Ability: Intelligence

• Classes: All

• Requires Training: No

• Check: Detecting a trap is an opposed test, pitting the character’s Search check against a DC equal to the Set Trap skill check, plus the strength of the trap. Only Rogues may detect traps with a DC greater than 35.

• Special: The search range is 5 ft. if passively searching, 10 ft. if actively searching. Elves and Dwarves receive a +2 bonus to their Search checks and Half-Elves gain a +1 bonus.

• Use: Search is part of the Detect modal action. In Passive Detect mode, checks are made automatically every round. Active Detect mode is a modal action that reduces the character’s normal movement rate and performs an Active Search, as well as Spot and Listen checks.
