Scent of Danger (Ex; Sense Motive)

Source Interstellar Species pg. 23
You can smell when there’s trouble brewing. If you’re surprised in combat, you don’t have the flat-footed condition for being surprised against any combatants you can detect with blindsense (scent) or blindsight (scent). When you roll initiative and can detect at least one combatant with your blindsense (scent) or blindsight (scent), you can spend 1 Resolve Point to roll your expertise die and add its result as an insight bonus to your initiative check.
You must have blindsense (scent) or blindsight (scent) to select this ability.
