Message: <blockquote data-quote="Voadam" data-source="post: 9618964" data-attributes="member: 2209">The unclear option in 5e commune is for things outside the contacted deity or divine proxy's knowledge. If y/n would be misleading or contrary to the deity's interests there can be a short phrase instead of a yes no. The spell will never generate false answers, but it can fail to answer depending on the question and situation and who exactly is contacted (a deity can have multiple proxies who can have different knowledge)."You contact your deity or a divine proxy and ask up to three questions that can be answered with a yes or no. You must ask your questions before the spell ends. You receive a correct answer for each question.Divine beings aren't necessarily omniscient, so you might receive "unclear" as an answer if a question pertains to information that lies beyond the deity's knowledge. In a case where a one-word answer could be misleading or contrary to the deity's interests, the DM might offer a short phrase as an answer instead."</blockquote>
