The character can detect surface thoughts. The amount of information revealed depends on how long the character studies a particular area or subject:
1st Round: Presence or absence of thoughts (from conscious creatures with Intelligence scores of 1 or higher).
2nd Round: Number of thinking minds and the mental strength of each.
3rd Round: Surface thoughts of any mind in the area. A targets Will save prevents the character from reading its thoughts, and the character must cast detect thoughts again to have another chance. Creatures of animal intelligence (Int 1 or 2) have simple, instinctual thoughts that the character can pick up.
| Intelligence | DC |
|---|---|
| 1-2 | Animal |
| 3-5 | Very low |
| 6-9 | Low |
| 10-11 | Average |
| 12-15 | High |
| 16-17 | Very High |
| 18-21 | Genius |

Note: Each round, the character can turn to detect thoughts in a new area. The spell can penetrate barriers, but 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt blocks it.
Arcane Focus: A copper piece.
