Special: A ranger gains a bonus on spot checks when using this skill against a favored enemy; An elf or aasimar has a +2 racial bonus on spot checks; A half-elf or gray dwarf has a +1 racial bonus; a druid receives +2 to spot in outdoor or wilderness areas due to nature sense.

Use: Automatic (enhanced when in detect mode).
