17.CRB
察觉:当我移动动作察觉搜索陷阱或其他隐藏事物时,我可以搜索多大的区域?《核心规则书(CRB)》中没有写,而《极限解放(Unchained)》里写我可以搜索10尺x10尺的区域,但那是写在整合技能(consolidated skills)可选规则里的。根据《极限诡道(UI)》,游戏中有两种察觉方式。第一种是被动察觉,它会自动激活:某些刺激会自动要求进行一个察觉技能检定,例如使用隐匿技能的生物(会要求进行一个对抗性的察觉检定),或者远处的战斗声或说话声。反之,当玩家主动要求进行察觉检定时,他的角色会有意识地寻找某样东西(一个例子就是使用察觉技能寻找陷阱,除非你有【陷阱嗅觉(trap spotter)】盗贼天赋来使这个检定变成被动检定)。这通常至少需要一个移动动作,但往往需要更长时间。
核心规则并没有特殊规定PC可以主动搜索的区域,但对于特定的察觉检定来说,这个搜索范围不应该大于10英尺x10英尺。如果该区域非常凌乱,则搜索范围通常会更小。例如,在以阴谋为主旋律的游戏中,翻找装满文件的文件柜是很常见的情况;虽然文件柜本身可能只占5尺见方的空间,但文件的数量会导致搜索时间特别长。
不过这并不一定意味着GM或玩家需要在每个10x10的空间内骰一次察觉检定。让GM为每个参与搜索的角色扔几个秘密的察觉检定,然后只在玩家搜索一个切实有东西可找的区域时才让他们主动掷骰,会使游戏顺利得多。

Perception: When I use Perception as a move action to search for traps or other secrets, how wide of an area can I search? The Core Rulebook doesn't say, and Pathfinder Unchained mentions a 10 by 10 area, but it's part of an optional consolidated skills subsystem.
As per Ultimate Intrigue, there are two ways Perception checks happen in the game. The first way is automatic and reactive. Certain stimuli automatically call for a Perception check, such as a creature using Stealth (which calls for an opposed Perception check), or the sounds of combat or talking in the distance. The flip side is when a player actively calls for a Perception check because her PC is intentionally searching for something (this is the relevant type of Perception used to find traps, unless you have the trap spotter rogue talent, which makes it reactive). This always takes at least a move action, but often takes significantly longer.
The core rules don't specify what area a PC can actively search, but for a given Perception check it should be no larger than a 10-foot-by-10-foot area, and often a smaller space if that area is cluttered. For instance, in an intrigue-based game, it is fairly common to look through a filing cabinet full of files. Though the cabinet itself might fill only a 5-foot-by-5-foot area, the number of files present could cause a search to take a particularly long time.
This doesn't necessarily mean that the GM or player needs to roll a Perception check for every 10 foot by 10 foot area, however. It's much smoother to have the GM roll several secret Perception checks for each searching character and then apply each roll only when the PC is searching an area that actually has something to find.
