I once actually used Detect to let a character sense the power of others. I forget which pyramid it was from, but there was the "It's a Threat" that gave ways of roughly judging a character's effectiveness in combat, and so I used those numbers rather than any point total (and with an analyzing roll they could further pinpoint the target's defensive and offensive aspects individually).
It worked exactly how I wanted it to, with the score given being a good indicator of how threatening each monster could have been, but not being a perfect measurement (the party were scared of this monster who's score was unusually high because It's a Threat doesn't account for negative scores, the lowest being 0; which gave a glass canon enemy a bloated threat level. It was quite amusing to see their reaction when they took the thing down before it even got a chance to react.)
