[QUOTE="sithramir, post: 1009741, member: 12183"] No offense man, but restricting things because you are too "lazy" or "unimaginative" means you probably should stop DMing. I hate to say that when there are lack of DM's in my area for players sometimes, but if you think divinations are game breaking you aren't using them to the rules. A lot of the answers are cryptic or in rhymes, etc. Whoopdie do I can teleport and windwalk. So I scry the BBEG and I can teleport to him. He can scry me and teleport to me? Or teleport away? Or cast a low level dimensional anchor? They can't easily scry someone in 3.0 until they get greater scry.
