This spell has caused some trouble in my game for years. Last night someone used it and it occured to me the duration may have changed since 3.5 has come out. (It is quite a powerful *worded* spell, and often ruins many challenges set up in mods i have used primarily due to its area and duration, but that is the way it is i suppose.)

The spell is Blindsight from the FR magic of faerun. I have copied the spell below. Does anyone feel the duration should be shortened (ala bulls strength, cats grace, etc.) Has anyone read anything regarding this spell? Opinions?

mof pg 82
BLINDSIGHT
Trans
Level: Clr 4, Drd 3, Sor/Wiz 3
Components: V, S
Range: Touch
Target: Creature touched
Duration: 1 hour/level
Saving Throw: Will negates(harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)

This spell grants the blindsight feat. The target creature gains sensitivity to vibrations, so that it maneuvers and fights as well as a sighted creature. The target creature's senses extend to a 30 foot radius, and the creature need not make spot or listen checks to notice creatures within its range. Invisibility and darkness are irrelevant, though the creature can't discern ethereal beings.

These are all the spells that are going to be revamped in the FRPG comming out in march.Blindsight is on there so I would imagine that the change will more than likely be the change from 1 hour/lv to 1 min/lv(but dont quote me on it):-)

Blindsight is in Underdark, it is 1 min/lvl.
However it has been dropped to level 2, wich almost make as powerfull.
In my opinion, its just a too powerfull spell.
cast it on anyone with deeper darkness on him and he can just take on evrything.
