Determine Gift
Divination
Level: Bard 3, Cleric 3, Wizard/Sorcerer 3
Components: M/DF
Casting Time: Instant (free action)
Range: Close, line of sight
Target: One creature
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes
The caster gains a brief insight into the target's mind which allows her to determine what type and size of a gift would produce a favorable reaction from the target to the caster. This spell may not be used to divine underlying desires or motives, only to determine what type of gift or bribe would get on the target's "good side" (or in the case of a non-intelligent target, would provide sufficient distraction for the target). Regardless of whether or not the spell is resisted, the target is unaware that the spell has been used.
Material component: a piece of ribbon.
Notes:
* Despite the spell telling the character what a good bribe... er.. gift should be, it's still up the characters to present the gift properly; e.g., 100 GP may be a sufficient bribe for the castle guard, but just walking up to him and handing him a sack of gold in broad daylight might not work out so well.
* In general, try to restrict having this spell cast on PCs, to avoid metagaming hell.
* The "gift" need not be a tangible item. It could be information, flattery, or even just a sympathetic ear to listen to their troubles.
