Description
You gain the ability to smell gold and other precious metals. You can detect copper, silver, gold, platinum, and gems within 30 feet by sense of spell and differentiate between the scents of these five types of valuables. If such treasure is upwind, the range increases to 60 feet, and is likewise reduced if the treasure is downwind. Strong scents can be detected at twice the ranges noted, while overpowering scents can be detected at triple range.
When you detect one of these types of valuables, the exact location of the source is not revealed - only its presence within range. You can take a move action to note the direction of the scent. Whenever you come within five feet, you can pinpoint its exact location.
If you have the track feat, you can follow the tracks of a moving creature with valuables by smell, making a Wisdom (or Survival) check to find or follow such tracks. The typical DC for a fresh trail is 10, increasing or decreasing based on other factors such as weather conditions, the trail's age, etc. For each hour the trail is cold, for example, the DC goes up by 2. Otherwise, follow the rules of the track feat, except you can ignore the effects of surface conditions or poor visibility.
