:* ''Example: A brilliant mind may attempt to open a locked door with her retroactive action. However if any creature attempted to use the door between her retroactive action and current round the action is illegal. If an alarm spell was on the door and unlocking the door triggers it the action becomes illegal, wasting the attempt. Similarly if she triggers a trap and that trap is observed by another creature the action becomes illegal.''
* Rule 3: The use of retroactive action is not time travel, the brilliant mind cannot use any precise exact information she learned since the turn the retroactive action is attempted, similarly she cannot use any items she acquired after that round during her retroactive action. She can use precise information like the current position of a creature.
:* ''Example: The door is triggered by a password, which is learned. The brilliant mind cannot use retroactive action/1 hour to open that door with the password she learned after the fact.''
The brilliant mind can attempt a [[SRD:Bluff Skill|Bluff]] check opposed by [[SRD:Sense Motive Skill|Sense Motive]] against all creatures that can see her, she gains a +8 bonus on her [[SRD:Bluff Skill|Bluff]] check against the creature that ‘defeated her’. If a creature fails to beat her bluff with her sense motive, they believe that the brilliant mind is dead. This lasts until they are shown proof that the brilliant mind isn’t dead, such as checking their vitals or the body moving.
'''{{Anchor|Retroactive Gambit}} {{Ex}}''': At 11th level the brilliant mind can attempt a retroactive action 1 hour in the past, this does not cause her normal retroactive action to go on cooldown. A retroactive action performed in this length of time is not limited to a standard action, move action or swift action but must be achievable within 10 minutes. You must have been able to taken the prerequisite time to perform the chosen action retroactively. She can use this ability once per day at 11th, and an additional time per day at 15th and 19th level.
'''{{Anchor|Quick Retroactive Action}} {{Ex}}''': A 17th level brilliant mind alters the cooldown of her Retroactive Action class feature from 5 rounds to 1d4 rounds.
