You can detect creatures of the aberration type in a cone emanating out from you in whatever direction you face. The amount of information revealed depends on how long you search a particular area.

• 1st Round: Presence or absence aberrations in the area.
• 2nd Round: Number of aberrations in the area and the condition of the healthiest one.
• 3rd Round: The condition (see below) and location of each individual present. If an aberrations 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 hit points, free of disease.
• Fair: 30% to 90% of full normal hit points remaining.
• Poor: Less than 30% of full normal hit points remaining, afflicted with a disease, or suffering from a debilitating injury.
• Weak: 0 or fewer hit points remaining, afflicted with a disease that has reduced an ability score to 5 or less, or crippled.

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

Each round you can turn to detect aberrations 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.
