immune to mind affecting abilities

[RUMBLETiGER]

Um, am I wrong in thinking judicious use of the level 1 Protection from Evil spell and the like would accomplish all you need for this? Granted, the wording says it more suppresses than grants immunity to mind effecting abilities. but for the minutes/level it's in effect, you're as good as gold.

Invest in a wand. It's, what, 750gp for 50 uses? More if you want it at a higher caster level to last longer each use, but How often are you expecting Mind Effects?

Level 3 Magic Circle Against Evil and the like does all this and more, for 10 minutes/level. Even more groovy.

Protection From Evil only grants protection from mental control, not from the full range of Mind Affects.

It provides suppression from all charm and compulsion effects. Is the OP talking about illusions, glammers, fear effects? what else is left that's being considered here?

The guy said "mind affects" not "A subschool of mind affects".
Thats like saying "I want immunity to magic" and being given immunity to fireballs only.

It's a little more limited than that. "Enchantment (charm) effects and enchantment (compulsion) effects that grant the caster ongoing control over the subject, such as dominate person" is not all of them. For example, Prot./Evil makes Charm Person and Dominate Person useless, but not Suggestion or Crushing Despair.
Mind-affecting is an even wider category, including Fear effects and many monster abilities (such as those of the Allip, Gibbering Mouther, Harpy...), as well as quite a few spells that aren't Charms or Compulsions.

Hm... methinks I need to compile an entire list of everything that falls under the realm of "Mind Effects", because my understanding is limited.

Unless someone already knows of one handy?

That's not hard. Most SUs and EXs that are mind affecting say so directly. The only things that don't are some fear effects. All fear effects are mind affecting, though, up to and including the intimidate skill and frightful presence. Spells that are have the [Mind Affecting] tag too. That's...about it.
