[QUOTE="Wolfwood2, post: 4374207, member: 39394"] Maybe we're missing the intended purpose of this ritual. I forget, is there a clause saying that you have to have seen the target before? Because if not, the main purpose would be to see what somebody looks like that you only know second-hand or by reputation. I could see where that would be worthwhile. EDIT: Oh yeah, I just looked at the description from DnD Insider. "When you perform this ritual, choose a specific creature. You create a magical sensor adjacent to that creature, and you can see and hear as if you were standing in the square where your sensor is located. You need not personally know or have ever seen the subject. However, when performing the ritual you must describe your intended subject with sufficient clarity that the ritual unambiguously knows which creature you’re talking about. This ritual can show you a creature anywhere in the world, but it can’t show you a creature on another plane." So potentially you could describe the subject as, "the guy who stole the gems form my vault last night." And presuming that there was only one guy who committed the theft, you'd get to see his face. How is that not awesome? [/QUOTE]
