==SENSE MOTIVE== 
WIS
You can tell someone’s true intentions by paying attention to body language,
inflection, and intuition.
Check: A successful Sense Motive check allows you to avoid the effects of
some interaction skills. You can also use the skill to tell when someone is
behaving oddly or to assess their trustworthiness.
• Evaluate: You can use this skill to make an assessment of a social situation.
With a successful check (DC 20), you can get a feeling when
something is wrong. You can also tell if someone is trustworthy and
honorable (or not) with an opposed Sense Motive and Bluff check.
• Notice Influence: You can make a Sense Motive check to notice someone
acting under the influence of a mental power. The DC is 10 + the
power’s rank.
• Notice Innuendo: You can use Sense Motive to detect a hidden message
transmitted via the Bluff skill (DC equal to the Bluff check
result). If your check result beats the DC, you understand the secret
message. If your check fails by 5 or more, you misinterpret the message
in some fashion. If you are not the intended recipient of the
message, your DC increases by 5.
• Resist Interaction: Make a Sense Motive check to resist or ignore the
effects of certain interaction skills, such as Bluff or Intimidate. If the result
of your check exceeds your opponent’s check result, you are unaffected.
Try Again: No, though you can make a Sense Motive check for each interaction
attempt against you.
Action: A Sense Motive check may be made as a reaction to notice or resist
something. (When that’s the case, the GM may roll the Sense Motive check
in secret, so you don’t know if there’s something to notice or not.) Using
Sense Motive to evaluate a person or situation takes at least 1 minute.
