Reaching out with your heart, you seek knowledge of the health of plants and animals in the area.
You instantly know whether each animal or plant (only) within the area is dead, fragile (alive and wounded, with 3 or fewer hit points left), or fighting off death (alive with 4 or more hit points).
Naturewatch sees through any spell or ability that allows creatures to feign death.
In addition, it also allows you to determine a variety of other mundane information about the animals and plants (whether or not the plants are dehydrated, the animals are malnourished, and so forth).
