[QUOTE="Lord Twig, post: 6973225, member: 31754"] I just checked and it's 5 miles. Not sure where this 6 miles thing is coming from. And it is not "perfect knowledge", the location of any individual creature or group of creatures could be off by up to a mile. I think I have shown it is perfectly possible to play. I mean, would you put up with my asking for every detail of a ruined castle as we approached? I mean I see it, so start answering those questions! It's stone, but what kind of stone? What color? Is there moss growing on it? What color is the moss? Are there any fallen stones? Did the stones break? How big are the pieces? I could go on, but what's the point? It is the same thing with Primeval Awareness. Sure, you [I]can[/I] insist that the DM tell you exactly what beasts there are in a 5 mile radius, but there are probably thousands of them! Which ones do you really care about? I'll tell you about those. Now you complain about my not giving you a list of the thousands of creatures in a 5 mile radius is a nerf, so your solution is to nerf the feature so the DM doesn't have to? How does that make sense? How about [I]not[/I] nerfing it and just running it in a reasonable manner? So I'll ask you the same question I asked above. How would you rewrite the ability? I can't think of a way without just arbitrarily limiting it. I would rather it be open for free use instead of having yet another ability that that must be tracked because of an arbitrary limit on its usage. [/QUOTE]
