So how do you randomly scry areas? If I understand correctly, if you try to scry on someone, you will only see the area they occupy, but not them. As far as what spells will work and what won't, I think that only spells which target the creature DIRECTLY won't work. The spell says it stops spells that influence or detect thoughts, or gather info about the subject. Only spells which do that are blocked by the spell. That is why I don't think mind blank has any effect on true seeing or see invisibility, they aren't actively "detecting" the character, merely allowing you to see them, despite illusions. Spells like locate creature, know alignment, scrying, etc actually target the individual or detect them, so they wouldnt work. See Invisibility isn't detecting their thoughts or gathering info about the subject, so it wouldn't be blocked. The thing with true seeing and See Invisibility that sets them apart is that they still rely upon mundane observation. You still have to spot an invisible creature, even if you have see invisibility on. That opposed to having a detection or scrying spell that says (theyre over there!).</p></blockquote><p></p>
