==[[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 can’t 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==
