[QUOTE="Dirt, post: 1262744, member: 6209"] Honestly, I was just presenting the murder situation as an example. So, let's assume that they were given the authority to use divinations. Let's start with this: a list of possible suspects. Commune. Alright, you now have your killer. Now, you need to prove it. Interrogate him using ESP (detect thoughts). Have several memorized...wouldn't want him to make his saves, now would we! Alright, we discover that we're dealing with a competent killer who disposed of the clues and had a good alibi. Unless the killer had a way to change his memories (this would be the one and only way to protect against this situation...and lets face it, you don't want to do this EVERY time that you think the characters are going to use ESP to unravel your plot), it would be fairly easy to get everything you needed using ESP. You can discover what clues he covered up, and the "good" alibi can quickly be destroyed. To be a good alibi, it has to be supported by some else (other than the suspect). So, onto the interrogation of the other person...and so on...and so on... [/QUOTE]
