Default Clairsentience and Detect

Really quick question. Clairsentience lets you displace all of your ranged senses. Does this include Detect?

If not, how could I make it so?

Thanks.

I say yes. Detect is a ranged sense. The ones it wont handle are taste and touch since your body is left behind.

Perhaps the senses need to be explicitly Vision-based or Hearing-based to work. However, this means applying *limitations* to make something work *better*, which is a problem.

The "all" does seem unequivocal.

Would the Link enhancement be required?

Link is primarily for attacks and is needed where you need to activate more than one ability at the same time, so no.
