So this is a strange issue, I noticed that I was receiving a -5 to my skill checks. I even remade another character to test this; same exact issue. I also reloaded and check with my other party members - no penalties. So exact same check in the exact same place with the exact same conditions, with/without light/darkvision/terrain/etc.
I've including some screenshots to show my build. I also have my save game if anyone wants to check for themselves. Just jump behind the statue and there's a perception check to find the scroll.
Thanks!
p.s. - Not sure how to upload screens, can I post imgur links or will my thread be deleted?
