This contains a variety of lenses, brushes, and tools designed to help you get the most information out of a crime scene. You may not be able to take fingerprints, but you can brush for particles, use alchemical swabs to identify unusual liquids, or make rubbings of seemingly significant inscriptions or marks. An investigator’s kit is used in conjunction with Search; it provides a +2 circumstance bonus when examining the scene and may allow you to obtain information that you couldn’t discover with the naked eye. However, using the kit increases the amount of time required for the check by a factor of five.

An investigator’s kit is designed to help you discover unusual or abnormal facts that are indicated by a crime scene. It will not help for other applications of Search, such as a rogue looking for traps.
