[QUOTE="Little_Buddha, post: 52979, member: 2715"] Really? My [i]True Strike[/i] grants a +20 insight bonus to attack and negates the miss chance due to concealment. Technically it doesn't locate an [i]invisible[/i] creature, AFAIK. You've still got to know/guess the location of the wizard... Reference? [i]Mind Blank[/i] stops "all devices and spells that detect, influence, or read emotions or thoughts". [i]True Strike[/i] doesn't fit any of those categories according to the PHB rules. It "protects against all mind-affecting spells and effects as well as information gathering by divination spells or effects". [i]True Strike[/i] isn't either of those according to the PHB rules. It foils even the most powerful spells "when they are used in such a way as to affect the subject's mind or to gain information about him". [i]True Strike[/i] doesn't do that according to the PHB rules. Yeah, actually, since [i]True Strike[/i] is a Personal only spell that does not require a target for the attack to be specified. It sees into the caster's personal future, not that of the caster's target. Your interpretation of [i]Mind Blank[/i] is logical, but not actually supported by the rules. The categories laid out under [i]Mind Blank[/i] are fairly specific and [i]True Strike[/i] does not fall under any of them. True. However, [i]True Strike[/i] never gives any information about a target's location. It grants a +20 insight bonus to the caster's next attack roll. I understand your argument, and it would make a fine house rule. But according to the PHB rules as written, [i]True Strike[/i] does not fall under any of the clearly laid out categories protected by [i]Mind Blank[/i]. [/QUOTE]
