Message: <blockquote data-quote="Space Coyote" data-source="post: 2827220" data-attributes="member: 29895">I have questions about the Find the Path spell.Now I know that the spell will not help you locate "objects" directly, but would the spell direct you to objects you would need along the way. For example, will FTP direct you to a key you would need to open a locked door first? OR would it simply direct you to a locked door (because that is the most direct route) and you have to figure out yourself that you need a key?What about other scenarios? What if the most direct path leads through a secret door? Does the spell tell you how to open it (for this I imagine the answer is 'yes' because the spell tells you what 'physical actions to take'?What if the path has to go through a teleporter or some similar enchanted obstacle that requires a password to activate? Does FTP let the caster know the password?What if a special object is required? Would FTP direct you to the object first? (the answer to this would be the same as the key question I guess)The reason for my confusion is the wording of this section: Soooo, does that mean that the person with FTP *CAN* find traps and knows how to bypass them? Can FTP show how to bypass some traps? The writing is not clear on this for me.The reason I need to get this confirmed is that I am running a converted version of the 2nd Edition module, Labyrinth of Madness and the Cleric is using Find the Parth with the goal as: "How to get out of the Labyrinth of Madness"*****Possible SPOILERS for the module Labyrinth of Madness*****The module has a HUGE variety of things, activities and tricks that the players have to do to get out this labyrinth. Things like needing a special key that is inserted 'in the air' between 2 pillars to activate a teleporter. Or activating one thing in one area may make something happen in a different area, and the players need to do something in this new area before proceeding again.I figured that Find the Path should do one of these:1) The spell will guide you on the most direct route with no other help at all, just directions (like a GPS system).2) The spell will guide you on the most direct route (like a GPS system) and tell you how to get around traps that act as obstacles.3) The spell will guide you on the most direct route (like a GPS system) and tell you how to get around *any* trap.4) The spell will guide you on the most direct route (like a GPS system) and guide you to things you will need such as keys, passwords, special items required to bypass obstacles like doors or teleporters.5) Combination of 2 and 4.6) Combination of 3 and 4.7) Other.Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.</blockquote>
