[QUOTE="(Psi)SeveredHead, post: 1009561, member: 1165"] I noticed some of the high-level adventures deliberately nerf high-level divinations. Lord of the Iron Fortress takes great pains to say that Greater Scrying can ruin an adventure (I'm not sure why - it isn't like the villain is [i]always[/i] plotting). It contains a magic item (artifact?) that prevents scrying. If you dare to use Commune, there's a 50% chance that a pit fiend intercepts the response and twists it :eek: A little over the top? (There's also the Invisibility Purge effect, which is just cool and evil.) Apparently Bastion of Broken Souls also takes the time to nerf Commune, but I don't own that adventure - that's the impression I get from Gfunk's Story Hour. There are some Divinations that don't bother me - Speak with Dead won't, since I have a pretty good idea how much info the corpse has. It could be none, it could be a lot, or there might not even be a corpse! Teleport can be annoying, along with Mord's Magnificent Mansion. [/QUOTE]
