General Edit

Helps you figure out creature's attributes. If your skill is too low, only the creature's level will be shown, all other attributes will be shown as ??. The skill check is made against the creature's Deception.

With creature appraisal lenses (requires the skill to wield), one may also weaken an opponent's defenses much like an imperil spell. See Gearcraft for more details.
