[QUOTE="Henry, post: 2053025, member: 158"] Let me put it this way: 90% of targets for surveilance will not be tossing flamestrikes indiscrimately in the neighborhood, they won't be actively scrying via detect magic, and generally tearing up the landscape looking for spies. If they do, they'll be finding the Rogues, Assassins, and Rangers trying to be unobtrusive in the area, too. They'll also be attracting a HECK of a lot more attention to themselves than they want to, especially in a populated area. Any DM that has the majority of his opponents act this way I would suspect of going beyond game-knowledge for his NPCs, solely to disparage one PC class. And if I have a target that is one of that 10% that is logically loaded for bear, I'm not going to get near him; I'm going to use my Druid powers to spy on him via Scrying, via speak with plants, and speak with animals, anyway! So, for most of the time, a Druid is a good spy to have. Not the BEST, mind you (no one has insinuated that), but good for the task in most cases. [/QUOTE]
