Item Identification#
Use Item Identification and target an item within 8 tiles. A successful 0–100 skill check marks items implementing identification as identified. Not every item has an unidentified state.
Targeting a character displays its ordinary single-click information. This skill is not a universal price appraisal or a replacement for reading item properties.
Arms Lore#
Use Arms Lore on a weapon or armour piece. A successful 0–100 check reports its condition from current versus maximum durability and descriptive information about damage or protection.
Arms Lore can also inspect a pet’s barding condition when the appropriate target supports it. The appraisal is descriptive; it does not repair the item.
