[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 66891, member: 2209"] [b]issue is how far protection extends[/b] The issue is not whether it can stop 0th level spells, it is merely whether as written it stops divinations from detecting things other than the mindblanked caster. I believe a valid spell could be constructed to protect the character and all his spells and all items on his person from being detected by divinations. It also seems a reasonable interpretation of the mind blank's personal range to say it covers the character and not spells cast on him. Under this interpretation of mind blank the spell still serves many divination protection purposes: detecting alignment is stopped, any divination targeting the character is stopped, The character does not show up on scrys of an area, etc. Conceptually, having a PC spell caster go, "hey guys, I'm detecting magic but I can't pinpoint it, very strange ... " could be neat in a game. It just shifts tactics that archmages using mind blank must be aware of. He must consider which spells can target his items or his spells. [/QUOTE]
