Appraise

Characters with the Appraise skill can appraise common or well-known objects. Failure means that you estimate the value at 50% to 150% of its actual value

Appraising a rare or exotic item requires a character to have three grades is Appraise. If the appraisal is successful, you estimate the value correctly; failure means you cannot estimate the item’s value. A character that does not have at least three grades in Appraise automatically fails to appraise rare or exotic items.

Appraising an item takes one minute. You cannot Appraise the same item twice, regardless of whether or not you succeeded in Appraising it the first time.

Special Considerations


 * A dwarf gets a racial bonus on Appraise checks that are related to stone or metal items because dwarves are familiar with valuable items of all kinds (especially those made of stone or metal).


 * The master of a raven familiar gains a bonus on Appraise checks.


 * A character with the Diligent feat gets a bonus on Appraise checks.

Synergy
 * A character cannot Appraise any item untrained. You must have at least one grade in the Appraise skill to use it.


 * If you have 2 grades in any Craft skill, you gain a bonus on Appraise checks related to items made with that Craft skill.
