Detect
From NWNWiki
Detect Mode: The listen, Search, and Spot skills are part of the Detect modal action; and, when active, it reduces the normal movement rates and makes the character perform active listen, Search, and Spot checks.
Elves receive the Keen Sense feat, which allows them to apply their full skills without a movement speed decrease.
[edit] Details
Passive (default) mode
- Trap detection radius: 3.33m (~11ft)
- Trap detection rate: 6 seconds (every round)
- Trap detection roll: d20 + full skill (in version 1.68, probably a bug)

- Trap detection rate: 3 seconds (twice per round)

[edit] Notes
- When standing still, a character gains the benefits of active detect mode, even when technically in passive mode.
[edit] Reference
- Some BioWarians discussed the normally hidden components of detect mode. (There is more than one BioWare post in the linked topic.)
