detect evil/detect good error

[Asterionaisien]

Hello everyone,

I've noticed that in the ruleset spell list there is a spell named "undetectable evil". But there isnt' any spell of that name in the PHB!

Reading its description it should be "detect good" (the reverse of "detect evil"), while undetectable alignment is the reverse of Know alignment and similar spells.

tl;dr:

1) "undetectable evil" spell does not exist in the PHB

2)detect good (as reverse of detect evil) is missing in the spell list

The above is true both for cleric and wizard spell list at the appropriate levels.

Cheers :)

Wow, I saw this and thought, that can't be right. That name is nothing like any spell in the game... and yet, it's there. I am not sure how/why that got there. I thought maybe it was partially due to the imports I did from Core Rules CD ages ago for some data but far as I can tell it's not there either. So, I've no idea how it got there... clearly it should be Detect Good.

Fixed.

There is a spell in the Wizard Spell's Compendium called "undetectable alignament", the inverted form of "know alignment".

Maybe it's the version for concealing an evil alignment...
