Further, how often does a challenge come up in your DM's games that Primeval Awareness trivializes? In a recent game where a ranger used it, the benefit was that they had additional time to prepare for the arrival of a shadow white dragon. No big deal. In a previous game, they were able to use it to narrow down the possibility on whether a given NPC was a disguised fiend. Also no big deal.Is it the class feature that's annoying or the manner in which a player uses it? Because it seems to me it's the latter and so far as I can tell that only becomes annoying when the player is spamming it for no good reason - or rather, no good reason that is apparent to the DM. And in some cases, it can be a sign that the player is bored with the content that is being presented which is good for the DM to know in my view. "Interviewing the tenth cagey, quirky NPC in a row is getting boring, time to go find me a tiefling to fight."</blockquote>
