Uncanny Deductions [Skill] It's the little details that give the most away. Benefits: This is a skill feat that scales with your ranks in Search.

• 0 ranks: You gain a +3 bonus on your Search checks.
• 4 ranks: You gain the Investigate^EbCS feat, and can Search a 10' by 10' area with a full-round action.
• 9 ranks: Once per day you can gain the benefits of Divination (caster level equal to ranks in Search) with a DC 30 Search check. You may apply a circumstance bonus from a pertinent clue to this check (+2 Minor, +6 Moderate, +10 Major).
• 14 ranks: With a successful Search check at DC 25 you can observe your surroundings (no greater than a 10' x 10' area) and accurately describe in perfect details the events in the past here based on apparently circumstantial evidence, up to 12 hours ago. At DC 30, you can look back up to 24 hours. At DC 35 you can look back up to a week. If the area has been undisturbed for a duration longer than a week then a DC 40 check can reveal the last 5 minutes of events that took place in the area before it became dormant. An area counts as being dormant if no creatures or forces have moved in or through the area or otherwise acted upon it. On a failed check, you gain a hazy and abstract idea of what may have happened. On a natural 1 (if it fails to succeed), you come out with an incorrect or even opposite theory. You may not repeat this check on the same area.
• 19 ranks: Once per day as an extraordinary ability you can consult your subconscious and gain the benefits of Contact Other Plane (caster level equal to ranks in Search) to an "appropriate" plane. If the character suffers an Effective Intelligence/Charisma Decrease then they are unable to deal with the frustration and distraction of the case, causing them to become obsessively unhinged. The decrease will last up to 1 week, or until the mystery being investigated is solved, whichever occurs first.
