Perception
Details
Perception determines your character's overall awareness and effectiveness with ranged weapons. It also affects your character's chance to detect hidden passages, objects or stealthed creatures and NPCs. It does not increase your vision or visible range. Perception does not directly affect your chance to hit, but rather increases your ranged weapon skills, which in turn increases your chance to hit with ranged weapons. Melee weapon hit rate is unchanged but increased with melee skill (through strength or dexterity). No items require perception to be used or equipped.
High perception score is important for characters who wish to use ranged weapons or find traps, stealthed enemies and secrets.
