If it were a leveled spell like bless it would be fine. But as it's a cantrip, the casters with it will literally not let a single action in the game happen without trying to shoe-horn guidance in somehow. Doesn't matter how ridiculous. If any character in the game tries to perform any action at all..."I cast guidance!" No PC can do anything without guidance. You want to haggle and the cleric's not there, stop the game, go find the cleric, or bring the cleric with you...so you can get a +1d4 to your check. You want to pick a lock...stop the game, go find the cleric, so you can get a +1d4 to your check. Literally every action that has a roll..."I cast guidance!" It's not that a +1d4 is wildly overpowered, it's not really. But as a spammable cantrip, it's a bit much. It mostly comes down to players being ridiculous with it. It's more annoying than it's worth.ETA: Wait. How long do you have searching for secret doors take? According to the PHB, it takes a minute to search for traps, and 10 minutes to search a chamber. Searching for a secret door would more than likely be on the high end of that scale (1-10 minutes).</blockquote>
