D&D (a la western) deities have usually been practically all-knowing, except for particular issues that the DM specifically sets up -- other deities or artifacts, for example. The spell is very much balanced, getting only a "20 questions game" and costing 100 XP, assuming by default that any deity pretty much knows anything they want of a mundane nature. Previous editions also suggested that the DM limit use of this spell to one per adventure/ week/ or month, you may want to institute that, as well.It may seem a bit jarring, but when characters start getting 5th level spells, the DM has to take into account that they then have all kinds of resources for powerful divinatory magic to find out what their enemies are up to.</blockquote>
