Decipher Writing

Source Pathfinder Unchained pg. 63
A Society check can allow you to decipher writing in an unfamiliar language or a message written in an incomplete or archaic form. If you succeed at your check, you understand the general content of about one page worth of writing. If you fail, you must succeed at a DC 5 Wisdom check or draw a false conclusion about the text. Both checks are rolled by the GM in secret, so you don't know whether the conclusion you drew is true or false.

Unfamiliar Message	Society DC
Simple message	20
Standard text	25
Intricate, exotic, or very old writing	30

Action: 1 minute per page.

Try Again: Yes.
