Detect Traps. [innate] (concentration) The caster can turn and detect and pinpoint the location of any traps in the area of effect (all traps if outdoors and only pit traps if indoors or underground). The spell allows detection beginning at the end of the round it was cast.

Physical objects, coverings, or structures will not limit the detection ability (with the exceptions noted below) but do limit the ability to clearly see the source of the emanation.

Limitations

• While the specific trigger is not known, the entire area that includes the trigger is noted as is the location of the trap itself. 

• Some barriers will block the detection altogether: Any amount of lead; 3-ft. of solid wood; 1-ft. of stone; or 1-inch of metal (of any kind).

• The GM must determine the definition of a "trap". Naturally occurring hazards, such as quicksand, are not traps unless created by a creature in order to affect others. Likewise, when underground, the GM must determine what is defined as a pit trap (manufactured sinkholes, covered pits, slides, illusions hiding drops, etc.).
