[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 1262985, member: 151"] You, my friend, need a copy of [url="http://http://www.exp.citymax.com/page/page/351667.htm"]Magical Medieval Society: Western Europe[/url]. You'd be suprised at what rights the peasantry did and didn't have, modern Hollywood portrayls aside. As for the question of low level groups, well, that really depends on what you're talking about. Divination magic isn't really a relevant force up until you get to around 9th level, at least. Certainly not in the same discussion as the Beholder-Mage who's head of the thieves guild. If you're talking about 10th-level characters dealing with 5th level thieves...well, they [i]should[/i] be kicking their butts, divination magic or no. Spells and abilities like detect evil and zone of truth, in addtion to having been discussed to death, aren't nearly as reliable as something like commune, and spells like misdirection and undetectable alignment easily foil such things. Low-level flunkies of a powerful organization could get these before dispatched on a mission, for example....especially with a rogue's UMD ability, scrolls become an effective tool. [/QUOTE]
