I've always had great respect for this thread's ability to communicate, second only to its willingness.
We've all made something very enjoyable for each other and we all have an interest in that continuing.

Yeah that is the one. Fuck. Well this makes life a bit difficult.

You can probably just tell me what you want to do and there's a good chance I'll find a way to do it.

Well it already was running into problems anyway but the idea was to use three spells: Detect Aberration, Detect Evil and the spell Varys used to root out spies. Initially the idea was to place statues with the first two spells placed in them in order to root out any obvious spies and the next spell to see (or not see) anyone with Mindblank. The idea with that spell was to see if anyone or anything was acting oddly. Someone talking to air, an item stand which fell over as if hit by something invisible, someone who was bumped into...that sort of thing. Anything odd that looked like an invisible person. Using those in conjecture I wanted to have the Inquisition use them to find spies, especially hidden in Mindblank.
This plan has already hit multiple problems and I am thinking of scraping it.
Edit: Any thoughts?

Detect Evil doesn't exist.
Stone Tell basically allowed Varys to get around the Divination block (not sure it should have) to obtain information from a space in the past, but Mindblank does nothing to prevent a creature, including a construct from observing them perfectly fine in real time.
Probably would be cheaper and more efficient to get an observation only Construct for this task.

A spell that makes one hungry.
So Feeder daggers can keep on their sweet, sweet 1d4 con damage every hit.

Explain "Detect Evil doesn't exist". Does the link not work? Or is that something else?
Edit: Also I thought Stone tell worked like arcane eye where the person simply isn't detected by it?

@DragonParadox feels that it does not make for good worldbuilding, it allows for "justified" heinous acts.
I agree.
There's a few spells that could perhaps be modified but Hunger/Starvation are negatives in DnD, anything that induces it is meant to debilitate so I'm not sure it's all that helpful to apply for combat reasons.
Thirst is the same if you were thinking that they "drink" the blood.
Vampiric Hunger works without most of those limits but then it does it's own 1d4 Con drain so I'm not sure it's adding much.
Edit:
Nvm they need to be pinned, I'm not well versed on the status, I know smaller creatures can Grapple a much larger creature just fine without even needing to inhibit it's movement.
E.g. Stirge, but a pin seems like it should require more, though it doesn't really explain why a pin is required to blood drain.

Ahh in that case could Detect Fiendish Presence have been okay? It isn't detect "Insert alignment" after all. Hmm maybe a construct with at will Detect spells and arcane eye SLA? I have just been wracking my brain here tbh.

You'd have to check with DP, it seems on par with Detect Aberration to me and that is okay.
I like the idea of the construct with at-will but it will probably get expensive quickly.
You'd want something that was very mobile and capable of tagging them/calling for aid or both.
On my Bigger Fish I added an Aberration scent tracking ability so it was more likely to come across a trail rather than banking on running into an individual Aberration. Stacking Scent skills might help you broaden your area of search to where your targets have been rather than where they are right now.

I have to ask DP if all devils and all aberrations smell the same...questions I never though I would ask but now am.

I had all last week while on vacation to write, but I kept putting it off until there was no more time.

There are likely feat lines available/modifiable, it seems reasonable that while they may not all smell the same you should be able to tell Type/Subtype.
Yeah that's what I meant, it either makes you a worse combatant or an unthinking combatant targeting nearest creature or downed creatures etc.

Non-lethal damage, resultingly fatigued (no running or charging, -2 to Dex and Str) and have to make a DC12 Fortitude save to eat now.

Hey, there is no way a spell makes you hungry without drawbacks. That one has things that can be mitigated at least.

Sorry, just wanted it to be clear. I agree that Hunger and Thirst are negatives so you'd need to modify something to make it work the way you want, a drop to hit isn't ideal but it's better than targeting former allies, the save DC for every hit is harsh though.

Eh, it's simply easier to have Quick Draw and a bunch of Feeders.

Yeah I'd rather not reduce sentient servants to the level of ammunition.

Unless they're goblins, then you have to educate them on not doing that themselves.
