The Scan skill serves as a fundamental measure of your character's visual acuity, enabling them to perceive objects and creatures within their surroundings. This skill can be utilized both passively and actively, allowing your character to spot potential threats or events in the distance.
When used passively, Scan enables your character to detect subtle movements or distant objects, such as arrows soaring overhead, without any deliberate action on your part.
However, when employed actively, your character can focus their attention on scanning the surrounding area, searching for hidden enemies or potential dangers. By specifying a direction, your character can peer into adjacent rooms, revealing nearby objects and creatures. The effectiveness of this scan depends on various factors, including your character's skill level and the terrain type.
A successful scan not only unveils visible targets but also has the potential to uncover hidden creatures lurking within the area scanned. However, it's important to note that while Scan may reveal the presence of hidden creatures, they cannot be directly targeted until they are exposed via the Search skill.
