Prerequisite: Proficiency in Investigation

You spend time researching a subject, allowing you to gain some information before you're next in danger.

During a Short or Long Rest - Self

• You ask your GM one question about a person or group, place, object, or past event. Your GM then attempts to answer the question, giving you information that is either:

  • Something you could have pieced together yourself with information you've seen,

  • Something recorded in written records you have access to,

  • Or something you could learn from a nearby creature.

• If the information you seek isn't something you could learn right now, or you need proof to confirm the information, the GM can choose to instead tell you where to go to find the answer you seek. If the answer doesn't exist, or you can't possibly find it, the GM can tell you your research is inconclusive.
