I suggested a DC check because Clerics starting out are still exploring their beliefs and sensing their gods power. As they grow more into their roles and learn to recognise their diety's power and voice they can cast greater spells.
If a level 1 cleric comes up against the level 15 Dread Priestess of Corath who takes great care to conceal who he/she is then why should a level 1 cleric of Toran be able to say haha your my enemy.. I will notify everyone in my faith about you and they will hunt you down.... This just does not make any sense to me and the divine check ability gives them this what I regard as a terrific power to use at the lower levels..
If it was a DC check (maybe opposed level+concentration rolls) the level 1 cleric would have to be lucky enough (good roll) to focus his mind long enough to tell if the person was an enemy or not. Whereas the level 15 would more than likely be able to tell right away if the young upstart Toranite was their enemy.
This would just reflect the difference in the divine ability through levels.
