None.

Prerequisites

Detect Lies-4, Psychology-4

Description

This is the ability to interpret a person’s facial expressions and body posture in order to gauge his feelings. You can use it like the Detect Lies skill, but only on a subject you can see. You can also use it to get a rough idea of what a party member is doing or about to do in a situation where he cannot communicate with you directly (for instance, when using Stealth). You can only observe one subject at a time. The ability to read body language in combat is a standard part of any Melee Weapon or unarmed combat skill. You may use this skill to contest a Feint attack.
