Since you can use the ability at will, who cares if it stops working after a round or two. All you need to do is to activate the ability again.

When the paladin uses the move action that is all it takes to activate the ability. The paladins uses one version or the other. If he uses the standard version it acts just like the spell. If he uses the paladin’s move action it does exactly what it says. It uses a move action and learns the aura strength of a single item or individual and then stops.

The issue there is that even though the spell is 10min per level he has me spend a standard every single round to maintain (by that I just mean to keep it on me, not actually getting the benefit) in even when walking peacefully down the road (not trying to sense anything). To lose a standard every round would prevent me from just putting the spell on and keeping it on. Which means I have to wait until the last second spend an standard to cast and then a move to use the paladin only function.

This discussion ended ages ago so maybe this is the wrong place to post this. I have a question about Paladin Detect Evil. My GM believes that the Paladin Detect Evil which is used at will (standard to cast it like a spell), Then each and every round for the 150 minutes I have to spend a standard to maintain concentration to keep the spell from collapsing. Then as a paladin to use it on a single target I have to spend both a standard to maintain and a move to use the single target detect evil ability. Once I engage a target, the spell drops. Is that correct? As a player, in my opinion, that makes using detect evil nearly impossible which seems a shame for a paladin only special ability.
