[QUOTE="Felix, post: 1645333, member: 3929"] I can't believe I'm saying this... Sorry PC but I have to disagree with you here. [i]Detect Magic[/i] will not tell you a [i]Rope Trick[/i] is functioning in the area, nor will it show you an invisible window. What it will do is: [i]1st Round[/i]: Tell you there is a magical aura present in the room. [i]2nd Round[/i]: Tell you how many auras are present. It will also tell you the strength of the [i]Rope Trick[/i] aura, but only if Rope Trick is the most powerful magic aura in the room. [i]3rd Round[/i]: If the [i]Rope Trick[/i] is the most potent magical effect in the area of effect (and that possibly includes the NPC's gear) then it will tell the caster there is a Faint Transmutation aura in the room. And that's it. No invisible window, no non-dimensional space, nothing else; it won't even tell you if it's Arcane or Divine. But that does not mean that a wizard couldn't think: "Hmmm, a 0 to 3rd level Transmutation spell. I know they were in here... *spellcraft check* ... it might be Rope Trick since no other 0 to 3rd level spells would make sense. I'll just cast [i]See Invisibility[/i] and find out if that invisible window is actually there." ... *whew* ... :embarassed/regretful smile at PC: [/QUOTE]
