[QUOTE="anest1s, post: 5999646, member: 94230"] Would it? -The spell doesn't say you "identify the location" only that you get some names. So if the plane has no name, bad luck. -If someone is in a Genesis plane, and it has a name, then you learn the name of the Genesis plane. The Genesis plane isn't inside the Ethereal plane, it just borders with it. Even if it was part of the Ethereal Plane, then you would still learn either that the target is on the "Ethereal plane", or that the target is on the "Genesis plane". Because you get only 1 name for "plane of existence where the target lies". Discern location doesn't "identify" the location of the target...it just tells its name.If it hasn't a name, it can't do something extra to explain what plane is that. Obviously? Nope, I would say its up to luck what name discern location will provide. Except if in-game there is somewhere a book that states the legal names for every location possible for the purposes of discern location. I don't think it is possible for such a book to exist out-of-game however. If it works with "how most ppl would name that thing" then the rope trick is just named "Rope Trick ". You don't get to name it "Plane next to the x wall in x dungeon" because 1) You don't decide its name as a minority 2) Even if you did, you don't know its location. 3) Even if the creator was smart enough to call it "Plane next to the x wall in x dungeon" it still wouldn't be named like that, because most ppl call those things "Rope Tricks". ________________ Also, it looks like that standing or sitting works as a measure to prevent Discern Location. Yeah I know some of you will argue that this only blocks the name of the plane of existence. :p [/QUOTE]
