1. Detect Animals

Yribt Cycle

BTS: no st

ULT: 8 hours

Materials: none

Actions: mimic an Animal with one hand and focus eyes upon area to be scanned

Effect of Throw:

1 to 9 No Effect

³ 10 Chance of Success = 5T% per specimen or group of specimens within Radius (just make one check for a swarm or herd grouped closely together)

Range: 30d ft -d(d-1)/2

Radius: 10r ft -r(r-1)/2

Duration: t hrs -t(t-1)

Notes:

  1. Detect Animals Detects all Animals within Radius for Duration (even ones that Caster can’t otherwise perceive).  Caster knows exactly where each Detected Animal is within the Radius (sufficient to target an appropriate Spell upon it), but knows only that it is a Animal, not its species or genus.
  2. Animals are mobile natural life forms, which are not part of a particular Forest, though they will have an affinity with it, and they may be part of a hive / swarm or herd.  They include Mammals, Reptiles, Birds, Fish, Insects and Organisms (including non-mobile Organisms), but do not include ambulatory Vegetables.  Nor do they include Lycanthropes or other Monsters (e.g. a Giant Panther is a Feline Monster, which may count as a Cat for certain purposes but is not an Animal for the purpose of this Spell).
  3. To identify the species and genus of a Detected Animal, use Identify Animals.  To find a particular species or genus of Animal at long range, use Locate Animals.  If Caster has Locate and Detect Animals in Effect simultaneously, the Locate Animals will indicate exactly which Detected Animal is the Located one.
  4. To scan the Radius r secs light concentration is required.  Continuous light concentration is required to track the movements of an ambulatory Animal.
  5. Multiple scans may be made to Detect the same Animals within the Radius, whilst the Duration lasts.
  6. The Caster can move the Radius about using light concentration, provided that its centre does not exceed the Range (which is calculated from the Caster's current location from time to time).  This does not require continuous concentration.  Whilst the Duration lasts, it requires 1 sec light concentration to fix upon a new Radius, then the scanning time.
