Discernment is a selection of abilities related to your perception of the world around you. As you increase in this ability, you will be able to gather information about your state of health and those of others, take quick inventories of items you hold, and eventually even to sense power and illusions. Finally, the higher the discernment level, the greater the chance you can detect dramatic impersonations. |
