Survey	Detect You can sense plant powers at a distance and understand their general nature. This works even when you can't see the target, but both range and information suffers	Sensor Choose a plant that you have detected; you can perceive as if you were at that spot. You cannot use your Survey action for anything else when doing so.	Scry Choose a location or creature. You gain a sensor at the nearest plant, which is often close enough to perceive the target.
