Perception

Perception covers both alertness and comprehension. It determines not only how well a character notices the world around him, but also how well he interprets what he sees and hears.

Trait Effects: Someone with Perception 1 is always inattentive and distracted. Someone with Perception 3 keeps careful track of what's going on around him and almost always notices pickpockets. Someone with Perception 5 can walk through a masked ball and identify everyone he knows solely by their body language.
