[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 2781600, member: 2011"] True Seeing has the power to break through magic that hides or distorts an opponent. True Seeing does not have the power to break through magic that protects the opponent from divinations. You are giving it power that is not written in the True Seeing spell by doing so. True Seeing cannot break through Nondetection either without the roll being made. Your natural vision does not give you the ability to see the true form of a Polymorphed creature. Sorry, but your "natural vision" argument does not make sense. I realy am confused that people want to give so much power to True Seeing that the spell does not have. It defeats an entire school of Magic (Illusions), but it does not defeat anti-divination spells. Note: Nondetection is not as potent as Mind Blank. Nondetection does not prevent divination spells like Commune that go to a third party source because Nondetection only protects the warded creature and does not protect against "information gathering" divination spells. It only protects against divination spells that specfically target the creature or its area. Mind Blank, on the other hand, protects against any divination spell that gathers information on the creature including True Seeing. I find it strange that you admit that True Seeing gathers information, but then qualify the type of information gained. Mind Blank does not put any such limits on the information gained. [/QUOTE]
