It does not protect against all spells from the divination school,only those that would detect, influence or read thoughts, as well as anyinformation gathering effects of divining spells. If something isscrying the area, the spell will work normally, but the character withMind Blank will just not show up as in that area. All other Divination spells work as normal. Have fun and good gaming!TrevorCustomer Service DepartmentWizards of the Coast1-800-324-6496 Unfortunately, he didn't go into any detail but I guess he pretty much writes what I asked about.  Again, I don't know if anyone considers this official.I do understand your point in that it states in the FAQ that Mind Blank blocks all divinitions but when I read the divinition section in the Magic chapter I see a distinction being made between certain spells within the Divinition school.  Now this is just my interpretation of the Core Rules, nowhere does it explicitly say that some divinition spells are exempt from being blocked by Mind Blank.  But I just don't see how anyone can be immune to another person's Foresight or True Strike spell.  It's like Elmy's immunity to Time Stop <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" />.Regardless, our DM has made his mind up about Mind Blank and for simplicity's sake has gone with your argument.  He better not look suprised when our Mind Blanked, Improved Invisible, Silent Barbarian chops away without any fear of reprisal <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" />, barring Glitterdust <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.Happy discussing, I think I've said all I wanted to.</blockquote>
