The SRD description of the Locate Creature spell is:
What does it mean when it says "Running water blocks the spell"? Does that mean that if a character is on the other side of a river, the spell can't find them? Or if the character is under the water of a river the spell can't find him? Or what...?
I assumed it meant if he's on the other side of a river (or other moving body of water). But I just want to be sure, because that severely limits the usefulness of the spell if that's the case.
This spell functions like locate object, except this spell locates a known or familiar creature.
You slowly turn and sense when you are facing in the direction of the creature to be located, provided it is within range. You also know in which direction the creature is moving, if any.
The spell can locate a creature of a specific kind or a specific creature known to you. It cannot find a creature of a certain type. To find a kind of creature, you must have seen such a creature up close (within 30 feet) at least once.
Running water blocks the spell. It cannot detect objects. It can be fooled by mislead, nondetection, and polymorph spells.
