| Requires training | No - it works with no ranks in it |
| Armour check penalty | None |
| Available to | Every class |
How it works
Check. The DC is determined by the Hide check of the hidden creature.
Special. The Alertness feat grants a +2 bonus on Spot checks. Rangers receive a bonus on Spot checks against their favored enemy. Elves gain a +2 bonus on Spot checks, and half-elves gain a +1 bonus.
Use. Spot 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 normal movement rate and makes the character perform an Active Spot, as well as Search and Listen checks.
- Outdoors, the weather changes Spot: clear +2, rain -1, snow -1, rainstorm -2, snowstorm -3. Indoors the weather has no effect.
- Spot is also what catches someone picking your pocket. See Pick Pocket.
