Talk:Detect Alignment (3.5e Spell)

Power Creep

Isn't giving a stronger version of one of the Cleric's iconic abilities to the Wizard at the same level a bit creepy? --Foxwarrior 02:09, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Better? - MisterSinister 02:12, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Well, at least the power creep isn't also role infringement now. --Foxwarrior 02:24, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Tarkisflux's statements about hinder are still applicable to this, though. --Foxwarrior 00:08, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Oh, and you should think about how much this nerfs undetectable alignment: quite a bit. --Foxwarrior 01:15, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Have you actually read that spell recently? I believe the text says 'all forms of divination', which this technically is. It still protects against it, nerfs nothing, and generally is still just as useful as it was even with this spell's existence. I'm honestly not sure what your fucking problem is. - 27.252.91.220 01:28, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

No. Detect evil/etcetera only inform you if someone is of the specified alignment. Thus, an undetectable alignment spell makes it so they can still believe you are any of 6 different alignments, leaving plenty of leeway for believing that you don't have undetectable alignment active. Detect alignment will make them see you as True Neutral, which is much less likely.

And my problem is that I kind of like detect evil how it is. Tricking people is generally more fun than being immune to tricks. --Foxwarrior 01:47, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Is this better, Fox? - MisterSinister 22:34, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Footer Confusion

The footer lists this as a Sorcerer/Wizard spell, while the spell itself is listed as Cleric. --Ganteka Future 06:45, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Holdover from when this was originally a Sor/Wiz spell most likely. Corrected. - Tarkisflux ^Talk 07:03, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
