    Nondetection / True Seeing /

    Patryn actually hit the nail on the head as far as I'm concerned...and THAT is what my original question was. "Do True Seeing and See Inivisibility fall under the "such as" or don't they?" From the previous games I've played, Non-detection has never worked on See Invisibility or True Seeing...

    [Eberron] What happened to Cyre?

    Here's part of my theory. The war is going against Cyre. I also have a warforged related idea that would make House Cannith unsure of sticking around also*. House Cannith found the warforged info from the giants in Xen'drik, and might have found out what the giants did to Dal Quor The...

    The Great Villain Showdown [1st Round Closed]

    Comments: 128 might wind up being too many. Consider 64. Also, starting voting before you have all of the participants will throw stuff off, as the earliest villains will be the biggest and baddest. To try to escape some of the obvious... 6. Adelai Niska (Firefly) Occupation: Crimelord He...

    Nondetection / True Seeing /

    and this is EXACTLY why I asked the question. I'm curious to see if there are more opinions coming, or if someone cant point me to a prior discussion / sage advice / clarification.

    Nondetection / True Seeing /

    Nondetection states that the warded creature or object becomes difficult to detect by divination spells and then lists clairaudience/clairvoyance, locate object, the detect spells and crystal balls. Presumably this works on other scry-type spells, but what about divination spells such as see...

    Board Game Shopping Online

    i used to use funagaingames.com but last time i checked they had raised their prices quite a bit. I havent bought a new board game in a while, but they might be worth looking at for a comparison.

    Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince-SPOILERS!!!!

    I'm coming down on the Snape-still-ain't-evil side. Dumbledore's pleas reeked of begging Snape to continue playing the villian. Hopefully he can do something to prove his worth in book 7 to help make up for how lame he looked in the OotP flashbacks. The fact that we still have no idea why...

    Knowledge (Local) - How Does Your Group Use and Define It

    I've always used Knowledge:Local as a knowledge skill that incorporates every other knowledge skill, but for a limited area. So rather than need nobility/royalty to identify a noble family by insignia or history to know about a famous battle or geography to know about a river/forest/swamp or a...

    The New Policy In The Subway

    i can't imagine this would ever fly. i also havent seen or read any official announcement of this. Anyone have a link? I feel bad for any cop who ever tries to give me a ticket for eating or drinking. He better start writing up the "assaulting an officer" ticket too. And while I might be able...

    Rate Fantastic Four *SPOILERS*

    Hmm. Well it wasn't as bad as everything else so far this summer. The sfx were bad. What DID they spend their money on? Some scenes were Spidey 1 / Xmen 1 bad. Some were worse. Jessica Alba was bad. She really was just there for T & A and brought nothing to the table. Dr. Doom was awful. I...
