Detailed Charting
Prerequisites: Investigation sphere, Navigation sphere.
Benefit: As a standard action, you may analyze an area or target in that area while also applying your pathing to a location in that area. The targeted area, creature, or object must be within range of both your analyze and pathing abilities.
Speculative Analysis
Prerequisite: Investigation sphere, Study sphere.
Benefit: Whenever you successfully use the analyze Investigation sphere ability, you can begin a theory on the analyzed target as a free action. If the analyze attempt gains a detailed analysis, the theory starts with one notion.
Additionally, you gain a +1 insight bonus to analyze skill checks made against the subject of your theory for every notion the theory possesses.
Terrain Adaptation
Prerequisites: Investigation Sphere, favored terrain class feature.
Benefit: You may treat an area which you analyze as being your favored terrain for the purpose of providing bonuses from the favored terrain class feature. You may only have one analyzed area treated as your favored terrain at any given time. You receive the maximum bonuses in this area that your favored terrain feature can grant.
Unerring Eye (Champion)
Prerequisites: Sense Motive ranks 3, Investigation sphere; either the Divination sphere or Scout sphere.
Benefit: You gain the following benefits, depending on the spheres you possess:
- Seer (Divination sphere, Investigation sphere): Whenever you spend a standard action or longer to analyze, you can spend a spell point to also gain information from the target as if they were targeted by a Divination sphere divine option that you possess (as long as the divine option gathers information about a creature, such as the base option to detect magical auras on the creature, or (divine) talents such as Detect Spellcaster or Detect Thoughts). Additionally, whenever you would expend an Investigation sphere application for a benefit, you can dismiss a Divination sphere sense instead.
- Reliable Analysis (Investigation sphere, Scout sphere): When you analyze a creature, you can also scout them as if you had spent the same action to scout the creature. If a target is both scrutinized and scouted, you can treat any roll of a 6 or lower on checks benefiting from scrutinize as if you had rolled a 7 instead; both of these values increase by 1 for every 6 ranks in Sense Motive you possess (e.g. at 12 ranks, you treat rolls of an 8 or lower as if it were a 9 instead).
