Can you read the lips of a creature a mile away if you have the Observant feat and the level 6 Totem Warrior...












6














A level 6 Totem Warrior Barbarian can choose the Eagle totem, which states:




You gain the eyesight of an eagle. You can see up to 1 mile away with no difficulty, able to discern even fine details as though looking at something no more than 100 feet away from you. Additionally, dim light doesn't impose disadvantage on your Wisdom (Perception) checks.




Combine this with the Observant feat:




If you can see a creature's mouth while it is speaking a language you understand, you can interpret what it's saying by reading its lips.




Using this combination, can I read a creature's lips, speaking a language I understand, from a mile away?

          Excellent combo.



          You quoted all the relevant rules. To read lips, you need to




          see a creature's mouth while it is speaking a language you understand




          and with Observant, you get to clearly see creatures and fine details (like moving lips) within 1 mile. It is legal and a great idea.
