more than one of the humakt gifts come with "appropriate" geas: never use poison/extra resistant against poison is one that springs to mind. in the case of sense assassin, i recall the geas as "never attack from ambush". one could argue that, by giving up the ability to ambush, you are able to detect the dishonourable hoseheads that do. this would push it past the "body language" level into something else -- what champions calls Danger Sense. even then, there are holes in it that can be exploited.
