heh I used that because no matter how much we would love for it to be a perfect and real based setting nwn is what it is and is mechanics based. How can you equate natural empathy through mechanic rolls..you cant. I agree a pious lay person of a faith (assume level 0 commoner) may very well be able to feel that someone is just not...a nice person but on the other scheme of things this is their 'personal' feelings. Clerics on the other hand have this ability (again game mechanics) to simulate their ability to ask their god if they should or should not tend to someone. Mind you how many times do people use this and still ignore the RP aspect of it and go ahead and work with those people anyway. So maybe this is all a moot point.
In essence I just question the power of a cleric new to the faith, still learning what these feelings they are feeling actually mean is able to walk up to anyone and without any chance of misinterpreting their 'feelings' can tell if that person is an enemy. Especially of said person has been around for a very long time and spent a lot of time and effort to conceal their true identity. It just does not seem quite fair.
