| - | === LISTEN (WIS) === | ||
| - | Use this skill to hear approaching enemies, detect someone sneaking up on you from behind, or eavesdrop on a conversation. | ||
| - | **Check:** Make a Listen check against a DC that reflects how quiet the noise is that you might hear or against an opposed [[Move Silently (Skill)|Move Silently]] check. | ||
| - | The GM may call for a Listen check by a character who is in a position to hear something. You can also make a Listen check voluntarily if you want to try to hear something in your vicinity. | ||
| - | The GM may make the Listen check in secret so that you don't know whether not hearing anything means that nothing is there or that you failed the check. | ||
| - | A successful Listen check when there isn't anything to hear results in you hearing nothing. | ||
| - | **Try Again?:** You can make a Listen check every time you have the opportunity to hear something in a reactive manner. As a move action, you may attempt to hear something that you failed (or believe you failed) to hear previously. | ||
| - | **Special:** When several characters are listening to the same thing, the GM can make a single 1d20 roll and use it for all the listeners' skill checks. | ||
| - | You can take 10 or take 20 when making a Listen check. | ||
| - | Taking 20 means you spend 1 minute attempting to hear something that may or may not be there to hear. | ||
| - | A character with the [[Alertness (Feat)|Alertness]] feat gets a +2 bonus on all Listen checks. | ||
| - | A sleeping character can make Listen checks, but takes a -10 penalty on the checks. | ||
| - | **Time:** A Listen check is either a reaction (if called for by the GM) or a move action (if you actively take the time to try to hear something). | ||
