-======Listen (Skill ======
-=====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).
