[QUOTE="Zappo, post: 100574, member: 633"] He doesn't need to stare at the target openly for 18 seconds without blinking. Actually, since it's an area effect, there isn't even a target. He could look around randomly in the (rather large) area of effect, and just do the usual things people do when they aren't really doing anything. :) He doesn't even need to keep his eyes open, I think, since it's a magical sense. The only way I see someone noticing that he is using a spell-like ability is maybe if someone talks to him and doesn't get answered... nah. Thinking better, not even then. A character who is concentrating can still see, hear and understand things normally, and can probably manage a short answer too within a few seconds. At most, he'll look distracted, but from there to "He's certainly casting Detect Evil on me!" it's quite a leap. [/QUOTE]
