    Sense invisible? Does that mean just sense invisible creatures? Invisible entrances like the Wheel Clan one? Can you see traps (my most important question)? Or do you still have to train in sense traps? Thank you for your help!

    IT's all in the manual... but yes it makes you sense invisible creatures... just check out the manual.

    Can you see traps was the question?

    It's not under the "from this statistic we derive." there isn't even a small section devoted to that for perception. it just says sense invisible. spot trap recognizes mechanical traps. if i had no points in that skill, but had 20 in perception, would i see mechanical/magical traps? thanks again!

    You're really into those scripts aren't you?

    Skills dependent on Perception are:

    Arm/Disarm Traps
    Firearms
    Prowling
    Spot Trap

    Upgrades to Perception allow you to upgrade those skills.

    My gunfighter had 20 perception, but I didn't notice ANY invisible things with my 20 perception. Quite frankly, I think the bonus could be more useful.

    Well, you CAN see the Wheel Clan entrance without the spectacles if you have a perception of twenty. But that's all I can think of.

    You can master firearms and arm traps with that perception.
