It falls under the other Speak With diviniation spells that Druids and Rangers get. Its too strong for Bards IMO. (I wanted to make it level 5 but none of them receive spells that high.) So here it is. Feel free to post opinions.  Speak with MonstersDivinationLevel: Drd 4, Rgr 4Components: V, SCasting Time: 1 standard actionRange: Personal (See Text)Target: YouDuration: 1 min./level You can comprehend and communicate with monsters and creatures of any type that have an intelligence below 3. The communication is limited to flashes of instinct and genetic memory that all creatures are born with, and simple emotions like hunger, fear, and anger. You may transmit the same simple concepts to any creature that you see. You may not try complex communication with any creature using this spell. Should a caster attempt this, the spell immediately fails and if the target creature's intelligence is under 3 it immediately becomes confused or enraged and may attack the one casting the spell (50% Chance - Caster's Charisma modifier). Note that creatures with an intelligence under 3 run on pure instinct, they respond to immediate stimuli and satisfaction and do not understand the prospect of a reward or favor. Any attempt to offer or ask for one will cause the spell to fail with the above effects. Images of Food or Danger work best when attempting such communication.</blockquote>
