			== Identifying Magical Objects ==
			Learning the properties of a magical object
			* If a character chooses to study a magical object without the Identify spell, they may learn its properties through focused investigation.
			* Identification attempts can be made during a short or long rest.
			*
			1. Identify Spell
			2. Attunement: After attuning, the character learns its properties, including any magical effects and how to use them.
			3. Knowledge or study (short or long rest):
			* A PC that is proficient in the item can learn its approximate attack/damage bonus during a short rest.
			A PC can use Arcana, History, or Investigation to determine if they have knowledge of or can infer the properties of an object. On success, one or more of the object’s properties are revealed. On failure, no new relevant information is discovered. A check can be repeated during a long rest after 24 hours.

	~~=== DM Guidelines ===~~
	* Encourage descriptive, cinematic play — if a player wants to kick open a door ''as they charge in'', let them.
	* Free Actions can occur before, during, or after movement.
	* Quick use of tools (like flipping goggles or striking flint) can be free; complex use (like picking locks) takes an Action.
	* Optionally, allow simple Free Actions outside a turn (e.g. dropping prone, shouting “Duck!”) as reactive moments.

 Exceptions: Some creatures are particularly aware of their surroundings and are immune to flanking. This includes creatures with Blindsight, Tremorsense, or Truesight or with multiple heads or multiple eyes. Other creatures may posses abilities that provide  full peripheral awareness that also prevent flanking.
