4th Level Investigator Feats

Alchemical Discoveries (Feat 4)

Investigator

Prerequisites alchemical sciences methodology

---

You've devoted extra time in the lab to improve your knowledge of alchemy. You learn the formulas for two alchemical items each time you level up instead of one; these must still be elixirs or tools. The number of versatile vials you can create each day increases by 1 if you're an expert in Crafting, 2 if you're a master, or 3 if you're legendary.

Detective's Readiness (Feat 4)

Investigator

---

When you're on a case, you stay watchful and resolute to avoid tricks your suspect might pull. You gain your circumstance bonus from Pursue a Lead on saving throws (and their DCs, as normal) against the subject of a lead, and you can use Clue In to assist an ally's saving throw against that subject.

Lie Detector (Feat 4)

Investigator

Prerequisites empiricism or interrogation methodology

---

You're adept at noticing the tells of a liar—sweat, flushing, a quavering voice, a quickening pulse. You gain a +1 circumstance bonus to Perception checks to Sense Motive and to Perception DCs against attempts to Lie to you. When you determine someone is lying to you, you can use their deceit to your advantage to gain a +1 circumstance bonus to the next Deception, Diplomacy, Intimidation, or Performance check you attempt against that creature within the next minute.

Ongoing Investigation (Feat 4)

Investigator

---

You're always investigating what's around you, even as you perform other activities. You can move at full Speed while using the Investigate exploration activity, and you can use another exploration activity while Investigating.

Scalpel's Point (Feat 4)

Investigator

Prerequisites forensic medicine methodology

---

Your stratagems benefit from your precise knowledge of anatomy. When you critically hit with an attack on which you substituted your attack roll due to Devising a Stratagem, if your attack dealt piercing or slashing damage, you also deal 1d6 persistent bleed damage to your target.

Strategic Assessment (Feat 4)

Investigator

---

You learn your foes' strengths and weaknesses by watching them move. When you critically hit a creature with a Strike on which you substituted your attack roll due to Devising a Stratagem, the GM chooses one of the following pieces of information about the enemy to tell you.

• Which of the enemy's weaknesses is highest
• Which of the enemy's resistances is highest
• Which of the enemy's saving throws is lowest
• One immunity the enemy has

The GM can choose deliberately or at random, but they can't choose information that doesn't apply (such as choosing an immunity for an enemy that has no immunities). This applies only the first time you critically hit a given creature.
