They can actively choose to use a standard action to view some things but not automatically notice if their worshipers are violating codes of conduct or whatever.<h4>Remote Sensing</h4>    As a <a href="https://www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/actionsInCombat.htm#standardActions" target="_blank">standard action</a>, a deity of rank 1 or higher can perceive everything within a radius of one mile per rank around any of its worshipers, holy sites, or other objects or locales sacred to the deity. This <a href="https://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#supernaturalAbilities" target="_blank">supernatural</a> effect can also be centered on any place where someone speaks the deity’s name or title for up to 1 hour after the name is spoken, and at any location when an event related to the deity’s portfolio occurs.The remote sensing power can cross planes and penetrate any barrier except a divine shield (described in <a href="https://www.d20srd.org/srd/divine/divineAbilitiesFeats.htm#salientDivineAbilities" target="_blank">Salient Divine Abilities</a>) or an area otherwise blocked by a deity of equal or higher rank. Remote sensing is not fooled by <a href="https://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/misdirection.htm" target="_blank">misdirection</a> or <a href="https://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/nondetection.htm" target="_blank">nondetection</a> or similar spells, and it does not create a magical sensor that other creatures can detect. A deity can extend its senses to two or more remote locations at once (depending on divine rank) and still sense what’s going on nearby.    Once a deity chooses a remote location to sense, it automatically receives sensory information from that location until it chooses a new location to sense, or until it can’t sense the location.The portfolio sensing is automatic knowledge of some things.<h4>Portfolio Sense</h4>    Demigods have a limited ability to sense events involving their portfolios. They automatically sense any event that involves one thousand or more people. The ability is limited to the present. Lesser deities automatically sense any event that involves their portfolios and affects five hundred or more people. Intermediate deities automatically sense any event that involves their portfolios, regardless of the number of people involved. In addition, their senses extend one week into the past for every divine rank they have. Greater deities automatically sense any event that involves their portfolios, regardless of the number of people involved. In addition, their senses extend one week into the past and one week into the future for every divine rank they have. When a deity senses an event, it merely knows that the event is occurring and where it is. The deity receives no sensory information about the event. Once a deity notices an event, it can use its <a href="https://www.d20srd.org/srd/divine/divineRanksAndPowers.htm#remoteSensing" target="_blank">remote sensing</a> power to perceive the event.Portfolio: Every deity of rank 1 or higher has at least limited knowledge and control over some aspect of mortal existence. A deity’s connection to its portfolio gives it a number of powers.Portfolio Sense: Demigods have a limited ability to sense events involving their portfolios.

The deity receives no sensory information about the event. For example, a demigod of the sea senses all tidal waves that threaten multiple villages, or a small or large towns. The deity knows where the waves are, but not what they look like or which direction they’re traveling.Once a deity notices an event, it can use its remote sensing power to perceive the event.</blockquote>
