Source of "The Gist Giver" Living/Dead Detection?

So, recently, I started using the "On Warm Sands" cloak from the Cloaks of Skyrim mod.

When I equipped it at Fort Dunstad, I saw a life detect effect that detects deat, living, friendly, enemy, all as the same color, when I'm sneaking. I looked at "Active Effects" and Saw "The Gist" effect. This effect detects nearby NPCs, dead/alive/enemy/friend in one color, and is only shown in the menu while sneaking, saying it has between 1 and 3 seconds left before it expires. When it expires, it begins again. The source of it is "The Gist Giver." At first, I thought this was the On Warm Sands cloak, but the effect lingers when I have it un-equipped. This showed up recently, and the only mods I have installed today are "Staff of Magnus Improved" and "Alternate Blade of Woe."

 

Does anyone know where this effect is coming from?

My recommendation is to launch creation kit with the mods you think might be the source, and do a search for "the gist".

 

You'll have better luck than waiting and hoping somebody else has noticed that effect and remembers what mod caused it. There are a LOT of mods that are no longer being maintained so I wouldn't count on the mod author noticing a post here, either.

Well, i'm kinda late for you Journeyman, but at least i hope this post will help whoever will try to find out where does "The Gist Giver" come from. Well, it comes from Kharjo. In fact, with the Specialized Followers mod, Kharjo has the ability to give you the perk The Gist:

The Gist - Can sense nearby creatures when sneaking.
_____Kharjo is a capable warrior, but he understands the value of stealth. His soft fur lets him move silently even in bulky armor, and he can keep himself hidden well. His strong sense of smell lets him locate targets to let allies know their positions. Players who strongly value stealth will find no better ally than Kharjo.

  • The Gist gives you constant detection of all creatures out to 100 feet when you are within 40 feet of Kharjo. You must be sneaking for it to to be active.
  • Kharjo has also been given the perks Silence and Stealth rank 1.
  • If Kharjo is your follower, do not enter sneak mode during a brawl. This will force real combat.
