Appraise Retry


Skills & Feats

Scarab Sages

We had our first playtest session with the new rules, and a question came up regarding using Appraise to identify magic items.

According to the rules, you can try again with an Appraise check if you cast a new Detect Magic or Identify. However, Detect Magic is a 0-level spell, so wizards (and we presume sorcerors) can cast it freely, as long as they've got it memorized. We saw this as effectively letting the player take a 20, provided they have a bit of time.

Is this the intent? Or should the retry only be allowed on a new casting of identify, which at least is limited in the number of times you can cast it per day?
