[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8344209, member: 22779"] I applaud your attempt at something that is going to be seriously challenging. Stuff that has come up in my current Candlekeep game, which features a lot of mystery type stuff: Any communication spell is a major PITA. Speak with Animals means that the caster has spies pretty much everywhere. You want to find someone? Speak with Animals (or at hight levels, Speak with Plants) is a huge advantage. Familiars, particularly things like imps or pseudo dragons, are also basically invisible (and pretty easily made undetectable) UAV's with extremely long range and night vision. Detect Thoughts is an obvious major one here. Read thoughts of targets you can't see up to 30 feet away? No saving throw so long as you don't probe deeper? Yes, please. If you have Candlekeep Mysteries, a Gingawazim (sp) can be summoned that is a perfect copy of any tiny, non-magical object. Perfect for forgery. And, even better, can be commanded to return to you at a certain time, turning itself into a tiny animal to escape. Oh, the heists you could do with that. Those are off the top of my head. [/QUOTE]
