Spirit Shamans and Scrying

[ExcaliburLost]

This is a simple question I mean to ask out of curiosity and interest. I apologize if its been asked before, but I'm new here and a moron when it comes using the search feature to find something like this. Do Spirit Shamans have any pl?ace in the current scrying house rules? If they do, is it similar to druids? Is it presently in the works? I'm unsure about how this whoel deal works in tabletop, so I'm a little confused.

A bullet promptly dodged. Thanks.

According to the rules here, spirit shamans don't seem to have anything hampering them from scrying, with the possible exception of their typical lack of intellect.

They've even got the advantage under the house rules of having an at-will divination spell that they can cast. If you were feeling exceptionally bold, as far as special reflective surfaces go, you could try to argue to the DM guiding you through the scry that the shamans extra-special-imaginary-friend is a sort of spiritual reflective surface, though they'd probably just laugh at you.

RPwise, I guess a shaman would find it impossible to scry anyone in an area warded against or otherwise devoid of spirits, as it would be way cooler to describe shamantic scrying as "listening to whispered rumors from across the spirit world."

Of course, I just made all that stuff up, and you can expect some or part of it to get smacked down by a DM soon.

Scrying in Sundren is *very* hard. You've really got to prepare and be built for that kind of a thing. I don't see what would stop a Spirit Shaman from scrying, but he or she wouldn't be able to perform difficult scrying without extrordinary luck.

To be completely honest, my feeling is that you have to specialize your wizard levels in Divination and take all the feats you can. Even then, setting up focii and whatnot could cost you deep.

On the other hand, information is extremely useful in an RP world...

I don't see why Shamans couldn't scry. You know, like throwing the bones you know?
