Message: <blockquote data-quote="FireLance" data-source="post: 3245956" data-attributes="member: 3424">Actually, my gut reaction was that supernatural abilities should show up under detect magic, but after reading the text, I'm not so sure.Detect magic detects magical auras. Based on the description of the spell, only spells and magical items have magical auras. A supernatural ability may be magical, but I find nothing that suggests that it has a magical aura that would register with detect magic.However, since the FAQ states that supernatural abilities can be detected as magic items, I'll go along with that.An interesting implication of this ruling is that anywhere that a dragon with 21 or more Hit Dice has used its breath weapon will have a lingering aura for 1d6 days because it is the equivalent of an artifact-level magic item.</blockquote>
