9. Investigation (Intelligence)
- Local (legends, personalities, inhabitants, laws, customs, traditions, humanoids) https://www.d20pfsrd.com/skills/knowledge (When combined with History a Character checks with advantage.)
*You are aware of Humanoid homebrew on a successful roll:
*You are aware of Lycanthropes homebrew on a successful roll:
*You are aware of Oozes homebrew on a successful roll:
*This skill is used to see through illusions. Because of the nature of most illusions to be dispelled by simple touch, characters without the specific Investigation skills may still roll to detect them, but they automatically do so with disadvantage against the caster's DC.
*Like History, this skill allows the character to know certain events, and have a general knowledge of an area they are familiar with. This skill can literally be a reason for a character to have some general meta-game knowledge, such as knowing about the famous mage Elminster of Shadowdale. However, since the campaign takes place on a parallel Prime Material plane, not all of what the character knows might be actually true for this Toril, just like scholarly works mildly peppered with the writer's propaganda often turn out to be less than the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, when viewed from the glaring light of reality.
*This skill is used to actively gather information in a town. The means will vary based on a character's skills or contacts.
*This skill is used for Bounty Hunting. This is an Investigation versus Stealth check. If the target does not have the Stealth skill, a character with the Investigation skill rolls with advantage, while the target rolls with disadvantage.

If the target does not have the Insight skill, a character with the Persuasion skill rolls with advantage, while the target rolls with disadvantage.

If the target does not have the Insight skill, a character with the Performance skill rolls with advantage, while the target rolls with disadvantage.

A 20th level character (+6) that knows the drums may play with other percussion instruments at a +3. This range assumes that the character has played with the instrument for at least one hour of real time, otherwise no bonus is possible.
