[QUOTE="beaumontsebos, post: 7972462, member: 6685533"] Would an Elder Brain using Sense Thoughts still be able to use the part of the feature to deceive a creature's mind on a Warlock with Thought Shield? Assume the Psychic Link with the Warlock has been established. Relevant texts: [U]Elder Brain Sense Thoughts: [/U]The elder brain targets a creature with which it has a psychic link. The elder brain gains insight into the target's reasoning, its emotional state, and thoughts that loom large in its mind (including things the target worries about, loves, or hates}. [B]The elder brain can also make a Charisma (Deception} check with advantage to deceive the target's mind into thinking it believes one idea or feels a particular emotion. The target contests this attempt with a Wisdom (Insight} check. If the elder brain succeeds, the mind believes the deception for 1 hour or until evidence of the lie is presented to the target.[/B] [U]Warlock Thought Shield: [/U]Starting at 10th level, your thoughts can’t be read by Telepathy or other means unless you allow it. You also have Resistance to psychic damage, and whenever a creature deals psychic damage to you, that creature takes the same amount of damage that you do. [U]My Initial Take: [/U]Thought Shield would for sure prevent the first part of the Sense Thoughts feature. However, the second part of the feature doesn't really require the Elder Brain to read the Warlock's thoughts. So, it would be able to use the part of the feature on the said Warlock. What say you?
