A wizard PC in my group wants to develop a spell to see through the concealment granted by things like smoke, fog and foliage. This came out of frustration from the groups blind-fighting druid/monk who is always dropping obscuring mist in combat.
The draft of the spell is:
Clear Sight
Level Sorcerer/Wizard 1
School: Divination
Casting Time: 1 Standard Action
Components VSF (set of eyeglass frames or monocle frame)
Range touch
Target creature touched
Duration 1 min./lvl
The target can see through concealment caused by fog, foliage, and the like, allowing him to target concealed creatures with subsequent attacks (provides line of sight). Attacks against concealed creatures do not suffer from any miss chance. The spell does not allow detection of magically invisible creatures, pierce cover, or detect creatures hiding from stealth due to cover. It also does not pierce concealment caused by dim light or darkness unless combined with low-light vision, darkvision, or additional magic (like the darkvision spell).
--------------------
In 3.5, there was a CLR/DRD 3 spell "Blindsight" that granted its namesake out to 30' to a target creature. So I'm thinking that despite the player's wish to have the spell 1st level I'm thinking this is at least a 2nd level spell.
Thoughts?
