Agents have a natural talent for spotting concealed things in an urban environment, and this is reflected through their ability to notice hidden items sometimes as they pass through a city street, or even a crowded room in a building. This is based on one's streetwise skill and perception, and even the most veteran Agent will miss details sometimes, but it's a handy ability that can be trained up by increasing one's skill.
Here's an example:
[Wargale, Red Crescent Walk]
Thick, green ivy, ever-growing and prosperous, clambers along the stone wall to the right of the pathway. A rather large clump of toadstools sits precariously near the path, but seems to have stood the test of time without being trampled by some clumsy passerby.
You also see (a clump of toadstools).
You notice exits leading northeast and southwest.
The parenthesis around the clump of toadstools indicates it is a hidden item. I should note that sometimes area builders will hide objects simply to avoid redundancy because they are mentioned in the room description, and this is the case here. However, the Agent has the ability to see any hidden (but not invisible) object, which includes those that are not per se really hidden, but hidden for cosmetic purposes, such as in this case.
Note that there is a partner ability for rural areas for Trackers, based on the Tracking skill & perception. Only Agents and Trackers have their respective spotting capability, other professions, regardless of skill, do not enjoy these perks. _________________ "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -- Plato
