= Decipher Script ([[Intelligence]]; Trained only) = {{Tsrwotc}} __TOC__ ==[[Skill Check|Check]]== You can decipher writing in an unfamiliar language or a message written in an incomplete or archaic form. The base [[Difficulty Class|DC]] is 20 for the simplest messages, 25 for standard texts, and 30 or higher for intricate, exotic, or very old writing. If the [[Skill Check|check]] succeeds, you understand the general content of a piece of writing about one page long (or the equivalent). If the [[Skill Check|check]] fails, make a [[Difficulty Class|DC]] 5 [[Wisdom]] [[Skill Check|check]] to see if you avoid drawing a false conclusion about the text. (Success means that you do not draw a false conclusion; failure means that you do.) Both the Decipher Script [[Skill Check|check]] and (if necessary) the [[Wisdom]] [[Skill Check|check]] are made secretly, so that you canβt tell whether the conclusion you draw is true or false. ==[[Action]]== Deciphering the equivalent of a single page of script takes 1 minute (ten consecutive [[full-round action]]s). ==Try Again== No. ==Special== A character with the [[Diligent]] [[feats|feat]] gets a +2 bonus on Decipher Script [[Skill Check|checks]]. ==[[Synergy]]== If you have 5 or more [[rank]]s in Decipher Script, you get a +2 bonus on [[Use Magic Device]] [[Skill Check|checks]] involving [[scroll]]s. ==Untrained== Cannot be used untrained. {{SRDskill}}
