Hile and well met,
I'm relatively new to the PF scene and currently rekindling my (and my gaming group's) love for fantasy RP in general. Via Pathfinder of course. I've stumbled my way through GMing a couple of games already and my players are (rather scarily!) hungry for more. I'm having a blast too.
Hopefully a simple question and probably a non-issue but: How does a character "identify" the above properties in an item?
Do they know at a glance? Must they wield, wear or otherwise use said item? Appraise check? Craft: Weapons in-a-knowledge-kinda-way check?
If they walk into an armoury, who spots the better quality weapons first and how?
Sorry if this has been discussed before but a Messageboard and Google search avails nothing. And yes, I took 20.
Long days and pleasant nights.
