Observation Skill

Observation (SE)
Observation is a skill the player uses to deliberately look for something, or for the GM to determine if a player notices something. A player may look for a secret door, or notice a trap. The player’s skill level plus skill bonus is added to a random 1-100 roll. This is applied to the difficulty level of seeing or noticing the item, etc.  The GM will either roll this secretly or let you know if you noticed something, or ask you to roll so he can determine if you found what you were looking for. The GM may tell you if you found something or not, but could decide not to tell you that just because you did not find a trap does not mean there is not a trap.
