[QUOTE="Ian Pinsker, post: 7318342, member: 6924564"] Apologies if someone has already brought this up, but wouldn't Fey Ancestry qualify the NK to be located via Commune with Nature? Using Contact Other Plane (in ritual form - you're asking a powerful outsider or deity where the NK is, not targetting it, so avoids the amulet) over a day, it shouldn't be difficult to reduce the possible locations of the NK to a 3 mile radius (every casting reduces the total volume of space you're concerned with by 1/2 per question for 5 questions, ergo 1/32nd the volume. Working backwards, since you need 3 miles or less for Commune with Nature to tell you the "location of powerful [...] fey" (which is nature itself telling you about the character not targeting the character and therefore bypassing the Amulet of Proof vs. D/L), if you start from a planetary scale (specifically, 3,221,225,472 sq miles or less - earth is 193 million in comparison) you can discern a 3 mile radius in which the NK is likely to be using 6 castings - less than a day of ritual casting. From there, locating the NK is likely trivial. The tragedy of the NK is how locked in his spell usage is. Also even if we grant that Dispel Magic is "harmful" then the caster can still target one of the active spell effects on the NK (as sanctuary only protects from effects targetting the creature) and end them with dispel magic. Seems to me this build is easier to dismantle than y'all have been making it out to be. [/QUOTE]
