My point is among a shipfull of folks, there is very likely a good amount of evil thats been done in thought and deed. As others have pointed out, allignment doesn't mean they acted overtly, or that their overt acts haven't already been punished. And it doesn't mean they have anything against the PCs. So while it makes them worth keeping an eye on, it doesn't make them enemies.I guess my vote would be with those who say "let him detect things that aren't important" so that he will lso invest in sense motive, or work with the sneaky types to keep an eye out.For the question of detecting evil, I think a "hunch" level sense motive sucess should detect that a person is using some form of divination magic. I envision a certain unfocused look to the eyes as they perceive that which is unseen....</blockquote>
