Best 5th Lvl Divination Spell

[backbeat]

I'm playing a character who's just taking his second level in Unseen Seer. As such, I get a free bonus divination spell from ANY spell list. DM has limited us to SRD spells only. So what is a good option for a 5th lvl (or lower) SRD divination Spell?

Currently I am thinking about True Seeing, but I hate the gp cost to cast.

Quickened true strike.

Seriously, though, commune with nature is fantastic.

Commune (Clr 5), or Commune with Nature (Dru 5, Rng 4) are both super great.

My vote goes for Commune.

Even with the XP cost to cast? It's cool I agree but it's something you'd only want to cast 1/adventure

Yep, even with the xp cost.

Commune's a day-saver if used right.

Information is the most valuable commodity. If you ask the right questions, commune is heinously powerful.

Backbeat, if you think about it, our XP system actually rewards players to use XP based spells/crafting etc. You may loose a little bit of XP and drop behind in level for a session or two but then with the bonus XP you get from being behind, you will catch up quickly.

Just my 2cp.

But what about for our diviners?

Telepathic bond most likely, with the quickened true strike coming in 2nd.

What other classes do you have in the group? Both commune and commune with nature are good. It might be a good idea to pick whichever spell your group doesn't have access to.

If you're a wizard, then avoiding spells on your normal list seems like a easy call.
