So, this is brilliant. It does something as meaningful as a 0th level should and is also silly. I also love that it was invented by captain Obvious.

The only problem I have with it is no cleric love. I mean, divination is generally their thing, no?

I think I like this. Maybe. What if I rated it differently, hmmm....


I Respectfully Disagree Re: The Balance[edit]

Augury has a longer casting time, lets you ask five times fewer questions, and is two levels higher.

Consider an obviously contrived situation like: There are six levers in front of you. Krump went and pulled the first one, which promptly killed him. You cast hindsight, and check each of the remaining levers in turn, to find out which one he should have pulled. --Foxwarrior (talk) 03:41, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Contrived and situational enough I think that it warrants an otherwise useless spell to be useful. Finding use for something that is seemingly useless is part of the fun of tabletopping. Since the spell doesn't fix what has happened and pretty much requires a preceeding cock-up on the party's account, I feel it is fine as a cantrip. --Sulacu (talk) 03:25, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
