[QUOTE="Iron_Chef, post: 1000899, member: 4530"] My character has had personal contact with her deity on two separate occasions (once while awake in a vision, and once while dreaming--not actual physical contact). Suppose something important comes up and she needs deity-level help, fast... could she use a sending spell to contact her deity (or agents thereof, such as the god's personal secretary) directly? Granted, there is a 5% failure chance because they are on different planes (she's on Toril and her god Bane is on Acheron), but I don't see why this wouldn't work from reading the spell description in the PHB. Commune, another 5th level spell, allows for contacting the deity or agents thereof directly to ask bunches of yes/no questions, and sending is limited to a 25 word communication at most, with response in kind. Now if the sending is trivial, then the PC should probably be punished in some way for the interruption, but otherwise, this might be a fantastic way to gain some divine intervention when things are looking grim, or at least a more detailed response than commune's yes/no without paying 100 XP... Advice? Maybe sending to deities should be okay, but an XP cost assessed, say 200 XP (twice that of commune), or 100 XP if the sending fails (5% chance). [/QUOTE]
