[QUOTE="Croesus, post: 7116374, member: 35019"] Arcane Eye [I]You create an invisible, magical eye within range that hovers in the air for the duration. You mentally receive visual information from the eye, which has normal vision and darkvision out to 30 feet. The eye can look in every direction. As an action, you can move the eye up to 30 feet in any direction. There is no limit to how far away from you the eye can move, but it can’t enter another plane of existence. A solid barrier blocks the eye’s movement, but the eye can pass through an opening as small as 1 inch in diameter.[/I] No reference is made to perception rolls or stealth checks, so I would rule that the eye cannot be noticed except via magical means, e.g., [I]see invisibility[/I]. That said, I think it would be fine to allow targets a Wisdom (Perception) roll, DC 20, to "feel" like they are being watched. No hit points or AC is listed for the eye, so I would suggest it is insubstantial. However, the spell specifically mentions that it needs an opening at least 1" in diameter, so it at least has some line of effect issues. Based on the description above, you cannot see further than 30'. I would describe it as edges blurred to a point that one can make out nothing, not even color, but other fluff works just as well. The key is that vision is limited to 30' in radius from the eye's current position. As for planes, I would rule that if the caster leaves the original plane where the spell was cast, the spell simply ends. The caster could, of course, re-cast the spell on the new plane. [/QUOTE]
