Your knowledge of treasures allows you to easily distinguish the most valuable item in a group and determine the auras of magical items.

Prerequisite(s): Int 13, Appraise 5 ranks

Benefit: When you make an Appraise check to determine the most valuable item in a treasure hoard, you may do so as a free action, and you receive a +4 bonus to the check. If your check is successful, you determine whether or not the object is magical, and if it is non-magical, you determine its value. In addition, when you are able to determine that an item is magical, you also determine the strongest magical aura (or auras) that the item possesses.

Normal: Determining the most valuable item in a treasure hoard takes 1 full-round action and you must make a separate check to appraise it. You may not determine magical auras with the Appraise skill.
