'''Synergy:''' Survival

'''Description:''' You have keen perception that allows you to notice specific things that other people might miss.

'''Check:''' You generally must be within 10 feet of the object or surface to be searched. You need one check for a 5-foot-by-5-foot area. The table below gives DCs for typical tasks involving the Search skill.

<sup>1</sup>A successful Search check can find a footprint or similar sign of a creature's passage, but it won't let you find or follow a trail. See the Survival Track feat for the appropriate DC.

'''Total Failure:''' You find something that you found interesting but have absolutely nothing to do with what you are searching for. This only make you lose some time.
