[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 7357831, member: 7006"] I have never found it to be an issue personally at my tables... but if it became an overabundance of cast-cast-cast... I might put forth the idea to my players who have it that Guidance is their deity (or the primal spirits) guiding the person trying to accomplish a task. So they would be willing to guide people on tasks that they themselves would like to see done, but would not necessarily help with everything. And that it might behoove the player to figure out what their cleric or druid believes in, and what is most important to them. Tasks that support those things? Being granted the miracle to cast Guidance would be accepted. Tasks that run counter to those beliefs? Would the deity really grant Guidance in that regard, and would the PC actually cast it? Self-restraining the casting based upon what it is being used for could be a good way of cutting down on the number of times it comes up. Assuming your players actually care about those sort of character/roleplaying ideals. [/QUOTE]
