Spot

Spot (Wis)

Description
The Spot skill enables you to sense traps, secret doors and hidden enemies. When you pass a secret door and your skill high enough, you'll get an alert message that you "sense a secret door". Note that there is no die roll involved. If your score is high enough you will always succeed and if it's too low you'll never know about it.

The same applies for traps. With a successful Spot check you'll get a "danger" alert message when you are near a trap.

Another use of the skill is that you can detect sneaking enemies. Normally sneaking enemies are invisible until they attack or take a similar offensive action. The Spot check is opposed to the enemies Hide check. If your check is higher you can see the sneaking enemy as a transparent, gray shape, also allows you to see the direction the enemy is facing.

Spot is also useful for archers and others ranged characters, since it allows you to see enemies at a longer distance (subject to your graphics settings).
