Alertness

You often notice things that others might miss.

Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on Perception and Sense Motive skill checks. If you have 10 or more ranks in one of these skills, the bonus increases to +4 for that skill.

Endzeitgeist Says: This feat, like many +2/+2 feats, is a rather weak option unless you aim to be the very best at what you do. In my home game, I allow characters with Alertness to roll a Perception-check versus traps, hidden foes or details the players would otherwise miss once per session to represent the character's keener senses. This practice has rendered a loathed feat into one that is quite popular, so consider adopting this house rule for your own game.
