[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 434923, member: 114"] Unfortunately Detect Scrying doesn't help much... it has a 24hr duration, which is great, but you get a round of "hey, I'm being scryed" then *pop* the buffed up guys appear. Similarly spotting the scry sensor doesn't help, since they can be right on top of you almost immediately. You could use the time to teleport away or something, but then you could just be found again. The high level anti-scry illusions tend to have too short a duration to make them worth using. OK, I'll come up with a positive answer now: The standard Scry spell takes 1hr to cast, so you have more difficulty buffing beforehand (except for the hour/level buffs), and the scryed target has a bit of time to get countermeasures ready if you put on the lesser duration buffs before you go. Greater Scrying can be used instantly, but I guess that is one less Limited Wish you are facing at the far end :) One idea I'm toying with is having all spells expire during a teleport. [/QUOTE]
