Detect

This skill tree focuses on detecting what's normally hidden from plain view, whether it's a tiny lockbox of loot, a tripwire trap, or a lurking assassin. Increment your skill in Detect by successfully spotting hidden items and enemies, and dealing damage to the latter you have spotted with Detect.

You gain +1 to overall Detect rolls every 10 skill levels.
