It wouldn't negate the PCs' need to explore or navigate, but it might give them some helpful hints or noteworthy locations/things to look for.Perhaps it could have a limited number of charges per day: I'm inclined to say 3, but that might not be enough.Then maybe it could have a minor power or two, like always indicating which way is north (outdoors) or which way the nearest exit is (inside) or something like that. Maybe you can spend a charge to have it draw a crude map of the surrounding area out to 100 yards or something.Anyone got any thoughts on the matter?Cheers,Jonathan</blockquote>
