Exodus, if you do use the horse assassin do let us know how it works out. ><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Thanee, you are correct that is impossible to use Spellcraft to identify a still, silent spell. There's no rule that says a Still, Silent spell does NOT provoke an AoO. However, flatfooted opponents do not get to make AoOs, and I'd rule that a person unaware of the horse's nature (in other words, a person that has no reason to threaten the horse) would not get to take an AoO on the spellcasting horse. It's the same reason why a friendly fighter doesn't take an AoO when his wizard buddy casts a spell. Darklone, Detect Magic would not detect Wildshape. From SRD on Detect Magic:"Aura Strength: An aura’s power depends on a spell’s functioning spell level or an item’s caster level. If an aura falls into more than one category, detect magic indicates the stronger of the two."A wildshaped druid is not an item, and is not under the effect of a spell. Until the druid lays on a buff spell there just aren't any auras to detect.If one of the party members was a druid or ranger then I'd let them make Know: Nature checks to see if they notice that the horse doesn't quite act like a horse--call it an unconscious "Wild Empathy" check that takes a day or two.Of course, if the assassin really *is* a horse (an awakened horse druid/rogue/assassin/shadowdancer) then there really is nothing to detect. It's a horse, man. An evil, deadly horse, but still a horse.-z</blockquote>
