Boon of Soul Sight (5e Epic Boon)
Boon of Soul Sight[edit]
You can see the souls of creatures that are within range of your soul sight vision, this vision acts like devils sight. Your eyes have become attuned with the spiritual world. While in darkness or at night, your eyes now glow a faint blue color. With this boon, you gain Darkvision to a range of 60 feet and you can now faintly sense living creatures within 60 feet of you and see the glow of their souls. You can see this glow even if they are obscured by thick walls or large objects as long as they are within 60 feet. Though you can see the souls of creatures faintly, this sight does not give you the ability to automatically discern if something is an illusion or not instead it gives you advantage on Intelligence (Investigation) Checks to discern if an illusion of a living creature is real or not.
