The Darvision is a rare and mystical trait found among certain species or individuals whose ancestors have been touched by ancient, otherworldly powers, or those who have undergone unique arcane transformations. Those with the Darvision trait possess extraordinary sensory abilities, often including enhanced vision or perceptive powers that transcend normal sight.

Traits of the Darvision:

• Superior Darkvision. Your vision extends into the magical and unseen realms. You have darkvision out to a range of 90 feet. If you already have darkvision, your range increases by 30 feet, and you can see through magical darkness as if it were dim light.

• Ethereal Awareness. You can sense the presence of creatures in the Ethereal Plane within 30 feet of you, though you cannot see them directly. This ability does not allow you to see creatures on the Ethereal Plane; instead, you sense their vague presence and movement.

• Perceptive Sight. You gain proficiency in the Perception skill. If you are already proficient in Perception, you instead gain advantage on Perception checks to detect hidden creatures or objects, and to notice illusions or disguised entities.

• Preternatural Clarity. You can spend an action to briefly attune your senses to detect faint traces of magical auras in your immediate surroundings. For 1 minute, you can sense the presence of any magic within 30 feet of you, including magical traps, enchanted objects, or spell effects, though you cannot discern the nature of the magic.

Appraisal
Skill (Wisdom or Intelligence-based)

The Appraisal skill reflects a character's ability to accurately assess the value, quality, and properties of various items, objects, and artifacts. Whether it's a finely crafted sword, a rare gemstone, or an ancient tome, those skilled in Appraisal can identify its worth, provenance, and potential uses with precision. Appraisers are experts in distinguishing genuine items from counterfeits, valuing magic items, and spotting subtle details that indicate an item's true significance.

Proficiencies:

• Wisdom (Appraisal): Focuses on the instinctive recognition of an item’s value through careful observation, intuition, and knowledge of materials.
• Intelligence (Appraisal): Based on scholarly knowledge and research, this version of Appraisal reflects a deep understanding of specific markets, historical contexts, and magical properties.

Common Uses for Appraisal:

1. Identifying the Value of an Item:
   You can quickly determine an object’s market value or general worth in gold pieces, including rare items, works of art, and magical objects. A successful Appraisal check helps you understand what an item might sell for in a specific region, how much a merchant would pay, or how much it might fetch at auction.

2. Recognizing Rarity and Quality:
   An Appraisal check helps determine if an item is a high-quality version of its kind or if it holds some rare or special property. This is especially useful for determining whether something is a one-of-a-kind item, a family heirloom, or crafted with exceptional skill or materials.

3. Spotting Counterfeits and Forged Goods:
   When examining an object, an Appraisal check can reveal whether an item is genuine or a well-made forgery. This could be the difference between a true magical artifact and a cleverly disguised fake.

4. Analyzing Magical Properties:
   Although identifying a magical item’s powers typically requires the Identify spell, an Appraisal check may help discern the type of magic or purpose an object might have. With enough knowledge, an appraiser might recognize the specific school of magic an object belongs to or deduce its potential uses based on its design and craftsmanship.

5. Appraising Magical Artifacts:
   You can use your knowledge of ancient artifacts, long-lost civilizations, and legendary items to estimate the potential significance or power of a magical object. This might allow you to uncover hidden properties, historical connections, or clues about how an artifact was used or created.

Appraisal Difficulty:
The difficulty of an Appraisal check depends on several factors, including the rarity of the item, the skill of the appraiser, and the level of information the character has about the item in question. For example, appraising a common gemstone may be an easy task, while determining the authenticity of an ancient artifact from a forgotten empire may be much more difficult.

Proficiency:
Characters proficient in Appraisal are often well-versed in the specifics of the market, craft, and arcane arts. Many adventurers, treasure hunters, or merchants learn Appraisal as a way to increase their understanding of valuable items and to avoid being swindled by counterfeit goods.
