Heretic Apostate
First Post
With all the spells out there (Comprehend Languages, Legend Lore and the like), is there room for adventurers who want to explore old ruins, find out about ancient civilizations, and so on? Why bother searching through old, forgotten manuscripts in the hopes of translating ancient writings, when a spell can do it just as easily? Why bother hunting up that old sage if a spell can provide you with the same stuff without all the hunting?
Does anyone ever do this type of stuff in their games? (I was just watching this documentary about the German amateur archaeologist (sp?) who discovered the ruins of Troy and the palace of Agamemnon, all by studying Homer's Illiad. Very interesting stuff. That guy managed to find several treasures, simply by studying what was thought to be myths, and connecting the "myths" to actual places....)
