[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8572238, member: 29398"] For very long range e.g. across a continent, most often by direct delivery of messages by people with long-range travel capabilities such as Teleport, Wind Walk, Plane Shift (leave from one place on the game world, return to another), and so on. There's a few instances of permanent very-long-range communication setups but these are rare and hella costly; and a few permanent teleport sites that aren't always reliable. For shorter range e.g. within the same realm it'd be by fast flight effects (e.g. a Druid shapeshifts into a falcon), messenger birds, Skywrite, and sometimes medium-range magic devices that equate to walkie-talkies or radio-telephones good for 20 miles or so. Or good old-fashioned ordinary messengers. :) Less common but still out there is telepathy, either by psionics or (more often) device, which works anywhere on the same plane provided both the sender and the receiver somehow have the ability. Edit to add: this thread really should have the "D&D General" tag rather than 5e, as it's an edition-agnostic question in many ways. :) [/QUOTE]
