You automatically detect and locate conscious creatures within 60 feet, as if you possessed the blindsight ability. [_Nondetection_](/spells/nondetection), [_mind blank_](/spells/mind-blank), and similar effects can block this effect. _Thoughtsense_ can distinguish between sentient (Intelligence 3 or greater) and non-sentient (Intelligence 1–2) creatures, but otherwise provides no information about the creatures it detects.
