Description The subject becomes aware if any sentient creature visible to them within 30ft/10m has any hostile intent towards them. For these purposes, “hostile intent” is the intention to inflict lethal physical harm on the subject at any point the same day; the spell does not pick up on subtler or longer-term intentions.


The subject must clearly declare Sense Threats, and any visible sentient creature who intends them harm must then reveal that intent. Both the call and responses occur out of character; persons other than the subject do not know in character what the spell has revealed (e.g. if they did not hear it being cast).
