5th-level, Divination (ritual)
- Casting time: 1 minute unless cast as a ritual
- Range: Self
- Components: V, S, M (incense)
- Duration: 1 minute
You contact a deity or a divine proxy and ask up to three questions that can be answered with yes or no. You must ask your questions before the spell ends. You receive a correct answer for each question.
Divine beings aren’t necessarily omniscient, so you might receive “unclear” as an answer if a question pertains to information that lies beyond the deity’s knowledge. In a case where a one-word answer could be misleading or contrary to the deity’s interests, the DM might offer a short phrase as an answer instead.
If you cast the spell more than once before finishing a Long Rest, there is a cumulative chance for each casting after the first that you get no answer.
Classes: Bard; Cleric (Order Domain); Cleric; Paladin (Oath of Devotion); Sorcerer (Divine Soul, Good)
