			To obtain this Skill-Perk, the Adventurer must know one of the following Skill-Perks:
			♦ The Adventurer can '''only''' take this Skill-Perk after '''learning''' one of the following: '''Sense Motive''', '''Appraise Item''', or '''Observe Surroundings'''.
			♦ Even with this Perk acquired, its benefits can only be used on Skill-Perks you have '''acquired''', for Animate Beings, Objects and Environments respectively.

			♦ When the Adventurer has a ''''specific''' query, this bonus can be used to find '''hidden''' or '''secret''' features and details about their subject.
			♦ In the '''event''' that a secret or hidden detail '''cannot''' be outright discovered, the Adventurer may be given '''clue(s)''' as to uncover it themselves.

The '''Deduction''' skill is focused on identifying the features and properties of the world around them. Whereas a skill like [[Tactics]] requires you to memorize specific creatures or environment types, '''Deduction''' is simply separated by three major subjects '''Animate Beings''', '''Environments''' and '''Objects''', all viewed through the lens of logic and intuition. An Adventurer can call upon their Deduction skill in order to try and find '''hidden''' and '''secret''' aspects of a particular individual, environment or item; or to simply understand what it is in the first place.

If a check is time-sensitive, the Adventurer may only get one chance to use Deduction successfully. For more lengthy investigations without interruptions or agency, the Adventurer may see the maximum possible result based on their Deduction skill so long as the check does not exceed '''<code>50 + their Deduction Skill-Rating</code>'''.

An Adventurer can make Deduction checks without any skill-rating as they add '''<code>10 * their Perception</code>''' attribute score to their roll.
