Something I'd like to see:

c 'locate object' locate_parameter [locate_parameter | character_name/adjective] [character_name/adjective]

There would be a player check in the room for the second argument. If there is a player for the second argument, then the caster will send the visions to the target instead of seeing them him/herself. The third argument is optional. If there are three arguments, the third argument will be a player check, and if no player is found, you won't be able to cast it.

I had the power to do that when I had Tshotha-Lantier. What you are asking for exists. It's an immortal spell called???? I don't remember. I learned it in the sewers of exile before they were changed. I showed one other player and we played with it for a while ---Clairvoyance! I think that's it. Anyways an imm caught us using it, we told the imm how we learned it, the NPC was changed and we lost the spell but it was awsome at the time.

One of my best sk memories is that spell and that character for that matter.

Yes, let's give everyone who can locate the ability to scry. It's not like scrying is something that should be limited to the very few means that are currently available.


What? No...

You know what locate object does. It returns a list of items and their location to the caster based on what arguments you pass in to the spell. The caster then has to tell the person who asked them to locate for them all of the things that might be relevant. I want to cut that part out. It will still only return a list of items and their location based on what arguments you pass in to the spell, but now, you can choose to see the list yourself, or you can give the list for someone else to see, that way, the caster doesn't have to spend time telling them where everything is.

That's the only change I'm proposing.

This would be helpful. I'd also like to see it applied to the identify spell.

And you could toggle it with lore also, giving the bard an option to either be creative or just propagate the information.

I love this idea. Honestly, I can't stand locating for other people. I have no clue what is a good sword or a good shield or good armor in general.

Yes, this is a huge pet peeve of mine. When someone is like "I need a really good cutlass, find me one" I'm like ooookay?

Have a option like so: Read <target>. The said person locating would read(send the list of the items to the other person just like it appears to the caster) the list to the person asking for help.

I had an alias to copy-paste things wrapped in says. Most GUI clients have some kind of 'send to world' option.

As for locate object getting some kind of buff, I'd sooner just see minor creation or grounding added to player spell lists.
