[QUOTE="Blue, post: 6923381, member: 20564"] I'm unsure what point you are making. It [i]seems[/i] that by asking "what are you trying to accomplish here" you're proposing a similar-feel type of limitation to the one I said I'd be okay with. But I don't want to mis-interpret. Again, I don't think it's overpowered, just that it can require the DM to be more prepared and/or willing to lock things in that they hadn't considered. "Tell me the number, direction and distance of all dragons in the area." - asked every few miles on a two week trip where the DM only has the origin and the destination mapped out, plus some level appropriate wandering monsters that don't include dragons. Used to map out dragon concentrations and migration patterns. And also likely nests if there are more then one dragon together over a period of time. I'm actually okay if they do this - it's magic, and I'd improv ont he spot. but not all DMs feel good about that, or maybe they are running a published setting/adventure path and would spent 20 minutes to get the right numbers because it'll be important at later levels. (Yes, yes, you never have to be that accurate because things move. I do get that. On the other hand, doing it often can watch where things move if they are sparse enough.) "Where are all the fiends?" "What is your intent?" "Well, my character dislikes cults which is why he has it, and I'm sure I can convince the paladin and cleric to go hunt a fiend." [/QUOTE]
