You detect surface thoughts. The amount of information
revealed depends on how long you study 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 Intelligence score of each. If
the highest Intelligence is 26 or higher (and at least 10 points higher
than your own Intelligence score), you are stunned for 1 round and the
spell ends. This spell does not let you determine the location of the
thinking minds if you can’t see the creatures whose thoughts you are
detecting.
3rd Round: Surface thoughts of any mind in the area. A target’s Will save
prevents you from reading its thoughts, and you must cast detect thoughts
again to have another chance. Creatures of animal intelligence (Int 1 or
2) have simple, instinctual thoughts.
Each round, you 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.
Furthermore, an immicker with this racial trait gains
the ability to assume the appearance of one specific humanoid that has
failed their saving throw against a spell used with this ability within
the past 24 hours. They may retain the specific shape of only one humanoid
at a time, and the immicker must spend 10 minutes alone adjusting themself
to the new shape before he can use it at will. Once the humanoid form is
selected, it remains usable by the immicker until it is changed. If an
immicker does not possess at least 12 Charisma, they cannot take on a
specific form with greater change shape.
