[QUOTE="Dark Dragon, post: 1579043, member: 1115"] Just compare it to ANY other protective spell in regards of duration and the spells it blocks at a 100% chance. There is none with such a wide array(except perhaps in some weird munchkin rule book). Let's take [I]Energy Immunity[/I]. Duration 24 hours, used as Fire Immunity. It grants immunity to fire-based attacks, e.g. a Red Dragon's or Hellhound's breath, the heat of a Fire Elemental and other fire attacks of creatures with the fire subtype (this is a bit general, but you know what I mean). It grants also immunity to the following spells: [I]Burning Hands Scorching Ray Fireball Incendiary Cloud Meteor Swarm[/I] (only partially against the targeted version!) [I]Fire Trap Produce Flame Delayed Blast Fireball Flaming Sphere Fire Storm Fire Shield Fire Seeds Flame Blade Heat Metal Wall of Fire Flame Strike[/I] (not against holy/unholy damage!) This is a list from the PHB. Now make a list for Mind Blank... Hmm, that's a good idea. I'm thinking of giving a +1 insight on AC and Ref saves per two caster levels, no matter if it is the caster or a touched creature. That seems to be a good alternative. Where did you find that? Power Word: X says only what happens to THE CREATURE, not specifically its mind. [I]Power Word: Blind [/I] can be compared to [I]Blindness/Deafness[/I], a necromantic spell. Either PW:B is in the wrong school or B/D is. I'd say that PW is. [I]Power Word: Kill [/I] has the descriptor [death]. Still, it is an enchantment. WTH?! AFAIK, there is no enchantment spell with the [death] descriptor in the PHB (and IIRC in no other splat book). So why is PW:K in this school?? This two Power Words are just inconsequently written, IMO. [I]Power Word: Stun[/I]. I could agree here, since stunning affects the mind of the target, IIRC. [/QUOTE]
