Violence Residue is a Adept Perception feat.

"Violence leaves stains that soap can't touch. The copper tang of old blood under fresh rushes. The gouge in the floor where someone was dragged. The silence in a room that should have birdsong. You read a crime scene the way others read a menu, casually, thoroughly, and with an appetite for the ugly details."

Activation

You make a Perception check in a location where violence, death, or significant conflict occurred.

Effect

You sense that violence occurred in an area and how recently. Upon succeeding the Perception check, the number of combatants, types of weapons used, and whether anyone died are revealed. Critical success also reveals the direction survivors fled.
