Zone of Truth
This spell prevents creatures within the area of
effect (or those who enter it) from speaking any
deliberate and knowing lies. Creatures are allowed a saving throw to avoid the effects; those
who fail the save are affected fully. Affected characters are aware of this enchantment; therefore,
they may avoid answering questions to which
they would normally respond with a lie or they
may be evasive as long as they remain within the
boundaries of the truth. When a character leaves
the area, he is free to speak as he chooses.
The spell affects a square whose sides are five
feet long per level of the caster; thus, a 4th-level
priest could affect a 20 foot by 20 foot square.
