When attempting a Sense Motive check, the investigator makes two d20 rolls and takes the higher result. If an investigator uses inspiration on a Sense Motive check, he rolls the inspiration dice twice and takes the higher result. Once per day, the investigator can expend one use of inspiration to target a single creature that he can see and hear within 30 feet. Upon doing so, the investigator detects the surface thoughts of the target's mind, as if he concentrated for 3 rounds while using the detect thoughts spell, unless the creature succeeds on a Will saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 the investigator's level + his Intelligence modifier). If the target fails, the investigator can continue to detect the surface thoughts of the target creature for a number of rounds equal to 1/2 the investigator's level.

Prerequisite: investigator level 5+.
