Blindsight:
Blindsight allows a creature to perceive their surroundings within a certain radius as well as a sighted creature utilising their other senses.
- At Level 1 your sense of hearing has a radius of 60 ft.
- At Level 1 your sense of smell has a radius of 30 ft.
- These each increase by 15 ft. at levels 5, 10, 15, and 20.
- The ranges for sense of touch and taste stay at 5 ft., regardless of level.
Tremorsense:
Tremorsense allows a creature to detect and pinpoint the source of vibrations within a specific radius.
- The source (target) of the vibrations must be connected to the same ground surface as the creature for this to work.
- This skill does not work on detection of flying or incorporeal targets.
- At level 1 the radius for Tremorsense is 30 ft. This increases by 15 ft. at levels 5, 10, 15 and 20.
Pushing the Limits:
As and action, a creature with Blindsight and Tremorsense can concentrate and Push the Limits, increasing the radius of their senses by 30 ft. for a number of rounds equal to their Wisdom Modifier.
- This ability can be used once every short rest.
- If the creature loses concentration due to an interruption from an outside force, the benefits of the skill end, and the creature takes a point of Exhaustion.
