[QUOTE="Zenon, post: 60002, member: 352"] That's where you're wrong. The spells description states what it does, but is vague on what it protects against. If it were crystal clear, we wouldn't be having this discussion. Comparing the old version to the new, you'll see the first sentence is exactly the same. However, in modifying the second and other sentences to remove the spell list and update the spell, they introduced ambiguities into it. In placing "prevents any divination used to gather information about you" into it, they opened a loophole. I believe their intent was to prevent any of these spells from gathering information about your mind, thoughts, etc., but the wording they used gives it an even higher boost which I don't think was anticipated by the designers (for example, read Monte's post where he says he hadn't considered it). I would prefer not to house rule it, but to use it per the rulebooks with any clarifications by the designers. I'm not saying that it's "too powerful!" or "it must be changed!", but rather using the example of it's current power to show why it's implied powers (like protecting from True Strike, Detect Invisibility) should be examined closely.
