D&D 5E True Seeing vs Invisibility/Mind Blank

[Hriston]

So you guys really need to understand the difference between a coma and a period. A coma means a continuance of the same thought, and everything after pertains to everything before. Whereas a period means it's a new thought. With mind blank, everything pertains to protecting the individual from mind altering effects period. It also,protects the individual from remote scrying BUT, it does not protect the individual from being looked at. You people are supposed to be smart. I should not have to give you grammar lessons.

Here's a grammar lesson for you: the commas are being used to offset items in a series, in this case a series of four items to which the affected creature is immune. They are:
1. psychic damage
2. any effect that would sense its emotions or read its thoughts
3. divination spells
4. the charmed condition
The OP's question pertains to item 3, which has equal weight relative to the other items listed.

A coma is a state of deep unconsciousness that lasts for a prolonged or indefinite period, caused especially by severe injury or illness. A period is something girls have. Oh I'm sorry was the grammar nazi talking about commas?

Actually, no it doesn't. A coma means a period of sustained unconsciousness, being almost impossible to wake from.

You really need to understand the difference between a coma and a comma. You obviously being as smart as you are, I should not have to give you spelling lessons.

Whereas a period means it's a new thought. With mind blank, everything pertains to protecting the individual from mind altering effects period. It also,protects the individual from remote scrying BUT, it does not protect the individual from being looked at.

It does however render the target immune to True seeing. Hence why advice is being asked: the RAW is fuzzy so its a DM call as to whether being immune to a spell would prevent the effects of that spell from detecting you.

You people are supposed to be smart. I should not have to give you grammar lessons.

That first statement above is exceptionally rude. Not everyone is a master of grammar. There are also several people on these forums for which English is not their primary language. If you wish to help someone understand a rule, than do so. If you feel their question is stupid and not worthy of an answer because they should "know better", then feel free to not answer and move on your merry way.

Second, I was not asking in the OP if the DM can override an effect. The answer is always yes to that. I was simply asking how to best interpret the RAW of this effect.

I think that I personally would rule that the Truesight that the spell grants is separate enough from the spell itself that it would detect the invisible person. Could go either way though.

We shouldn't have to tell you how to correctly spell common words. Weren't you just telling us how smart you are compared to us?

True but the difference between you and me is, I'm not sensitive enough to care.

It's called a "comma". A "coma" is a period of extreme unconsciousness. And don't be so obnoxious. If you can't post without being rude, don't post.

You cared enough to respond to me. You seem a bit sensitive.

Caliban, don't report a post and then egg the subject on, please.

Mind Blank (or the amulet of proof against detection and location) both block divination spells from working on you. So lets take an invisible creature with that on them vs someone with true seeing.

1) Does this mean the True Seeing spell spell would not detect the invisible creature in this case?

2) Since a monster's true seeing ability is not a spell, would it be affected?

As with others, I think it's a DM's call. The intent of mind blank seems to be that you can't be enchanted in any way and that people can't use scrying on the target.

True Seeing is a divination spell, but 5E is not written in gamer-ize, so I would rule that it would still work. Seeing something invisible is not an divination in the same sense.

True Seeing for a monster does not have the divination keyword, so there would be no reason it would be blocked, which also adds to the argument that the spell would also reveal the person.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
