You can detect a particular kind of [[SRD:Animal Type|animal]] or [[SRD:Plant Type|plant]] in a cone emanating out from you in whatever direction you face. You must think of a kind of [[SRD:Animal Type|animal]] or [[SRD:Plant Type|plant]] when using the spell, but you can change the [[SRD:Animal Type|animal]] or [[SRD:Plant Type|plant]] kind each [[SRD:Round|round]]. The amount of information revealed depends on how long you search a particular area or focus on a specific kind of [[SRD:Animal Type|animal]] or [[SRD:Plant Type|plant]].

''1st [[SRD:Round|Round]]: ''Presence or absence of that kind of [[SRD:Animal Type|animal]] or [[SRD:Plant Type|plant]] in the area.

''2nd [[SRD:Round|Round]]: ''Number of individuals of the specified kind in the area, and the condition of the healthiest specimen.

''3rd [[SRD:Round|Round]]: ''The condition (see below) and location of each individual present. If an [[SRD:Animal Type|animal]] or [[SRD:Plant Type|plant]] is outside your line of sight, then you discern its direction but not its exact location.

''Conditions: ''For purposes of this spell, the categories of condition are as follows:

Normal: Has at least 90% of full normal [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]], free of disease.

Fair: 30% to 90% of full normal [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]] remaining.

Poor: Less than 30% of full normal [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]] remaining, afflicted with a disease, or suffering from a debilitating injury.

Weak: 0 or fewer [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]] remaining, afflicted with a disease in the terminal stage, or crippled.

If a creature falls into more than one category, the spell indicates the weaker of the two.

Each [[SRD:Round|round]] you can turn to detect a kind of [[SRD:Animal Type|animal]] or [[SRD:Plant Type|plant]] 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.
