Investigation is a Intelligence skill.

What it covers

Search, examine, deduce, find hidden objects, and analyze clues.

Progression

Level	Unlock	Feat	Effect
2	Novice feat choice (pick one)	The Perfect Mark	Follow physical traces even through difficult terrain or after time has passed. Add +2 to Investigation checks to read the trail. Tracks can reveal the quarry's injuries, carried weight, numbers, and species.
		Patient Surveyor	Choose one specific question about the location or what happened there. Discovered evidence gives an honest answer without a skill check.
		Trap Spotter	Add +2 to the Investigation check. You can identify trap types from their construction, including poison needles, pits, and magical wards.
3	Passive bonus	Poison resistance bonus
4	Mastery bonus	+1 to Investigation rolls
6	Apprentice feat choice (pick one)	Scene of the Crime	Make a check to reconstruct the sequence of events. Older or more complex scenes are harder. Learn participant count, weapons used, time elapsed, arrival and departure directions, and whether magic was involved. Exceptional success reveals a detail about a perpetrator's identity or motive.
		Something's Off	Sense the presence of hidden creatures, disguises, illusions, planted evidence, or staged scenes. You learn that something is wrong, but need a subsequent check to identify what it is.
		Forensic Eye	Determine the cause and approximate age of the death or damage, whether the scene was altered, and the weapon type or magic involved. Use those findings to follow the source's trail.
7	Passive bonus	Dark resistance bonus
8	Mastery bonus	+1 to Investigation rolls
10	Adept feat choice (pick one)	Same Trick Twice	If the repeated action is an attack, it takes -40 ACCURACY against you. If it forces a save, you roll that save with advantage.
		Follow the Money	Learn the subject's faction, rank, and faction standing toward every power you know. A merchant also reveals its hidden stock. Gain Follow the Money for 1 day, adding +2 to social checks against anyone in that chain of connections.
		Off the Books	Make an Investigation check. On success, its storefront gains extra high-rarity items and reagents from hidden stock until the next restock.
