A brilliant mind never learns any information from a failed attempt to use retroactive action. Thus if the door in the above example is trapped or under an alarm spell which renders her retroactive action illegal, she does not learn that information.
Once a retroactive action is successfully used she must wait 5 rounds to perform another. At 5th level the brilliant mind can attempt a retroactive action 2 rounds in the past, which increase by 1 round at 9th level and each 2 levels thereafter. Alternatively, a Brilliant Mind may attempt a retroactive action without incurring a cooldown or if her retroactive action is already on cooldown, however she must spend a standard action explaining her retroactive action instead of activating it as a free action.
'''{{Anchor|Trickster}} {{Ex}}''': A brilliant mind uses her class level instead of her BAB to determine her bonus on combat maneuver checks and for the purpose of meeting prerequisites. She counts as having [[SRD:Combat Expertise|Combat Expertise]] for the purpose of meeting prerequisites. Finally a brilliant mind gains half her class level as a bonus on [[SRD:Bluff Skill|Bluff]] and [[SRD:Sleight of Hand|Sleight of Hand]] checks.
