Useless spells because of durations

[Apuglisi]

Guess I should open a thread named Detect Evil, flaws and more to be able to read something about how people deal with those seem to be useless spells? :\

jw, you're confusing clear with well defined.

jw, you're confusing clear with well defined.

Confusing it? No. From Merriam-Webster Online:

One entry found for well-defined.

Main Entry: well-de·fined
Pronunciation: "wel-di-'fInd
Function: adjective
1 : having clearly distinguishable limits, boundaries, or features <a well-defined scar>
2 : clearly stated or described <well-defined policies>

As I was saying (before it the thread went so side bloody tracked)

I love druids but i think they describe something and then they try to sell me a version quite different than what they describe...

Druids are supposed to be one with Nature...yet they can speak with animals for what? 1 min/lvl?!...that is ridiculous, at least to my eyes...

And it has nothing to do with the GM...I, as a player, feel quite dissapointed with that...
Hide from Animals lasts for 10min/lvl...So I can hide from them for quite a bit time but I need to be in a lucky day and find an animal quite in the mood to answer my questions quickly otherwise I will loose my spell...
To not mention that an animal has an intelligence quite different from mine wich makes it hard to believe that i can talk to them in 1 min as easily as I could talk to a sentient being...

What if I want or need a full report of activities in a forest and I need detailed descriptions? Arent these animals the eyes and ears of the druid?
Can you believe that a medium lvl druid would have to sacrifice several lvl 1 spells to be able to achieve that?

For me, as a player, is quite unreasonable and is one of the main reasons why I dont play a druid (being the class I love most).

Okay, we're done. You two need to quit bickering, and this thread is so hijacked that I'm just going to close it. If someone wishes to start a new thread which stays on topic, they're welcome to do so. Sfedi, I'm sorry this thread wandered so awry.

Jeff, Hyp, I know you're frustrated with one another, but you guys should know better than to engage in major thread hijack. Let the sordid detect evil discussion alone for a week or two before you try to wrestle it back into submission.

Thread closed.
