@JustinCase: FYI, I'm trying to figure out how much detail Caerth would glean from a casting of
lay of the land? Would he see the land in his mind's eye or would it be a general feeling instead. The spell isn't very clear, IMO.
Also, would he be able to see locations within 100 miles that are hidden by magic. I'm assuming he wouldn't be able to see places obscured by terrain, so if there is a lost temple or city deep in a forest, he won't see it. But I'm assuming he'd see major cities, towns, fortresses, etc. Does that sound right?
Otherwise, that spell is really overpowered.
Since you noted that you had memorized it, I've been working on updating my hex maps of Harqual around the Strandlands as much as possible. (I'd already been updating the main map a bit.)
Distances to places won't be an issue, but not all the intricate details are on the campaign map or even the main map of the Thunder Mountains region.
