- Organization expends wealth: +1 per 100gp spent, max +4
- Organization has connections with cell's Allies: +2
- Organization has dedicated spy network: +1 to +3
- Organization takes pains to avoid being discovered: -2
- Cell is aware of the search: penalty equal to cell's Security Trait
Locate Cell DCs
The DCs for this check are based on how big and known the cell is. Add together the total Investment for its Connections, Watchers, and Allies Traits, then compare that to the following chart.

150-126 | DC 10 |
125-101 | DC 12 |
100-76 | DC 14 |
75-51 | DC 16 |
