Mind Blank is a higher level spell though. I am of the instinct that True Seeing trumps Mind Blank since it feels like a "indirect" effect. But honestly, by the RAW, I think that Mind Blank trumps it.

I thought in 3.5, there was no difference between the divine and arcane versions of True Seeing.

Is the FAQ considered "official"? If so, trusting it or not doesn't matter since this is the rules forum. If it isn't, that's a different story.

But, wouldn't it be, by definition, Divination spells directed at the caster? Other divination spells simply don't affect the person Mind Blanked.

The Fireball discussion isn't productive or reasonable, let's move on. I think many people think of spells like True Seeing, See Invisibility, etc to be passive spells that enhance the viewer, not something directly affecting other targets. I think that's the assumption, but it may not be...

Actually, it does more than protect against mind-affecting magics. From the SRD: "This spell protects against all mind-affecting spells and effects as well as information gathering by divination spells or effects."

Sounds like Improved Invisibility and Mind Blank are a tough combo to beat. I'm still not sure I understand why See Invisibility and True Seeing (when used on the prime) would work against Invisibility type spells, but not against Blinking or Etherealness...

From Merriam-Webster: "Divination: 1: the art or practice that seeks to foresee or foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge usually by the interpretation of omens or by the aid of supernatural powers 2: unusual insight : intuitive perception" SRD defines it: "Divination Divination...

So someone blinking, invisible, etc with Mind Blank would retain their status as such?

Aren't all divination spells, by definition, information gathering spells?

Thanks for the explanations guys, clears that up nicely I think :).

Why wouldn't Mind Blank work? It essentially makes you immune to all divinations.

Invisibility and Mind Blank (or Nondetection) vs True Seeing or See Invisibility... what would happen in such a situation?

Etherealness mentions "See invisibility and true seeing reveal ethereal creatures." Which would seem to answer the question at hand. On Hypersmurf's point: To me, it does seem to be, to think of it practicaly, that you ARE in both planes. Or at least some of you is. Etherealness seems to give...

Just wanted to bump this awesome thread and say to Chain Lightning, Mithril Dragon, & Hunter, great work guys :). I'm always amazed when I come here.

So, on my drive to work this morning, I think I figured it out... Creatures on the ethereal plane exist on both the prime and the ethereal. On the ethereal plane, the creatures and objects are wholly there and completely visible. On the prime, the creatures and objects are there, but invisible...

In support of the "no and no" argument... From the FAQ (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/er/20030221a): "An ethereal wall would be visible to someone using true seeing (or a similar effect). The rules don’t describe whether such objects block line of sight, but it’s reasonable to assume...

To be the devil's advocate Blinking says "You strike as an invisible creature (with a +2 bonus on attack rolls), denying your target any Dexterity bonus to AC." and it goes on to explain that during the "blink" period, you are an ethereal creature. "Since you spend about half your time on the...

Chain, I know a may be being a bit repetitious, but thanks again for working on Mithras :).

Awesome, thank you very much Chain Lightning :) :) :). The original concept was a study in redemption. I wanted the character to have an "iconic" feel to him, so I made him a outcast avariel (winged elf) who had his wings removed for betraying his people. Making him, almost literally, a fallen...
