Object Appraiser

Origin Feat

You have an eye for value. You gain the following benefits.

Analyze Properties. You spend 1 hour studying an object within 5 feet of you, which can be done during a Short Rest. Afterwards, you gain one of the following benefits of your choice, depending on the type of item you are holding, which is determined by the DM;

Nonmagical Object. You learn the object’s intended purpose and how to use it, and learn of the object’s Vulnerabilities, if any.

Magic Item. If the object is a magic item, you learn its properties and how to use them, as well as whether the magic item requires Attunement, though this benefit does not reveal how many charges it currently has or if it is cursed.

Magical Object. You learn of any ongoing spells that are affecting the item and what they are, but only if the spell is of a level that is equal to your Proficiency Bonus or lower, otherwise you learn that a spell is affecting the item but not what the spell is. For example, a character at level 9 would be able to determine the what the spell is if it is a level 4 spell or lower. 
     You also gain an idea of the magical object’s intended purpose, and how it is typically used.

Appraised Value. When you use Analyze Properties benefit from this feat, you immediately learn the Appraised Value of the object; the Appraised Value is a generalized assessment and a price estimation based on your character’s own personal knowledge, which is equivalent to the price listed for the object in the source book that features the item, such as the Player’s Handbook, Dungeon Master’s Guide, or any other compendium, digital expansion or supplement, such as Forgotten Realms: Adventures in Faerûn. If the item price is not listed, or the DM does not want to use the listed price featured in the source book, then the DM decides the price for the object.
      This feature has no outside impact or effect on a creature’s desire to purchase the object, or how much a creature is willing to pay for it; the benefit knowing how much an object is typically worth and deciding how to apply that knowledge when bartering.
     You learn of one of the following regarding the object, depending on whether it is a Nonmagical Treasure or a Magic Item.

Nonmagical Treasure. You know the sale price of the object if is a typical nonmagical treasure, such as a Mundane Item (Trinkets), Gem (such as Azurite, Quartz, Spinel, etc.), Art Object (such as Ring, Necklace, Crown, Painting, Antique, etc.), and whether a treasure object is genuine or a counterfeit replication.

Magic Item. You gain a general idea of how much the item is typically worth, discovering how much the magic item’s base value is in GP, as determined by the DM.
