Find Flaws and Forensic Acumen

[John R.]

How do people think Find Flaws works with Forensic Acumen? Is a body an object and not a creature or is it a viable creature to target with Find Flaws?

It does not work because Forensic Acumen allows you specifically to make a RK check. Not a Find Flaws check.

Oh, yep, that's right. I should have known too. I already asked a similar question months ago. Thank you.

Do note that ForAcu does let you identify the kind of creature in question.

Find flaws has a specific clause about you being able to do it for a creature you are investigating.

There is 0 reasons I know of that forensic acumen can't be what gives you enough info for an investigation. (Granted totally can be a rule I missed.)
Assuming you use it to figure out what killed them and not about the dead creature.

The main issue is if the gm views it as repeat recall knowledge. I do not

I view it as
FA RK is for a general creature type that did the killing. Such as all ghouls.
FF RK is for the specific ghoul that killed this person.

But I can easily see a gm counting it as a harder dc. But that's more a problem with RKs vagueness

It pairs well with thorough reports. My fav feat before playtest and now even more.
