[QUOTE="sidonunspa, post: 3807879, member: 4360"] Dear OP... You are missing a chance to use this spell to drop additional clues... remember in a world where people can talk to the dead, killers would make sure they can't be identified, a hood over the face or even a mask can not only be a “calling card” but even a clue for your players. Speak with dead only gives you knowledge from the dead persons point of view, if they were attacked from behind they would have no idea who killed them. Instead of seeing this spell as a barrier see it as a tool… the dead can give the characters clues they need to get on the right track, anyone who says you can’t do a good murder mystery in D&D is sadly mistaking (we have had several successful Murder Mysteries in the Living Arcanis campaign) If you would like some hints and so on… drop me a line off list and I will be happy to help you craft a better murder mystery… remember divination spells can be used to give the players clues, you just need to expect them to cast spells and plan for them. Now let me add one to the list of game braking spells: [I]Force Cage[/I] [/QUOTE]
