[QUOTE="nameless, post: 1445044, member: 1543"] That tactic is questionable in any case. "Deities and unique beings are under no compulsion to go through the gate." ... "Deities and unique beings cannot be controlled in any event." Any [i]specific[/i] target is undoubtedly a unique being, and I would argue to my grave that any specific target is not compelled to go through the gate against its will. If I was DM in your game, I'd have said your idea was creative, but ultimately laughed at you. And as far as the Mirror of Mental Prowess... yes, it is very expensive, and should be powerful. Since I have one now, I'd certainly like to get the most out of it. But the one line about "any plane that you are sufficiently familiar with" doesn't explicitly overrule the range entry of Clairvoyance, but rather, seems to overrule the "vision doesn't reach to other planes" text of the spell. To me, it's a case of using the spell from the PHB, and changing what it tells me to change, which is not very much. Fieari will make a ruling either way, at some point. If he wants to get less Scrying, then I think he'll probably rule the spell to have limited range, just because it's convenient for the purposes of this game. [/QUOTE]
