[QUOTE="Dakkareth, post: 1866545, member: 9928"] Too long, too short, to chaotic, too ordered. I can't seem to get it right ;) Anyway, if you look in the table for contactable planes in the spell description it goes like this (much left out): [code] Plane Contacted Avoid Int/Cha Decrease True Answer Don’t Know Elemental Plane DC 7/1 week 01–34 35–62 (appropriate) (DC 7/1 week) (01–68) (69–75) Positive/Negative Energy Plane DC 8/1 week 01–39 40–65 Astral Plane DC 9/1 week 01–44 45–67 [/code] So if your question is about the usual powers of efreet, you'd have a 44% chance to get a good answer, when contacting the Astral Plane. If you contacted the Plane of Fire, this chance would rise to 68%, because it is the appropriate Inner Plane regarding information about the efreet. My idea was to extend this to the Negative Energy Plane. Thus if you contacted a creature on the NEP about the number of undead in the area (for example), you'd have a 68% chance to get a true answer as opposed to a 44% contacting someone on the Astral Plane, because it's the 'appropriate' plane - the powers inhabiting the NEP would know more about such matters than some random power sitting on the Astral.
