[QUOTE="Scion, post: 1343414, member: 5777"] umm.. yeah.. but even if they dont mix the spell still says, ' the barrier blocks any attempt to possess the warded creature (by a magic jar attack, for example) or to exercise mental control over the creature (including enchantment (charm) effects and enchantment (compulsion) effects that grant the caster ongoing control over the subject, such as dominate person)' so even if the attack was psionic it was still excercising mental control. If you want to walk down the road where magical effects wont help in any way against psionic ones this makes psionics incredibly powerful, too powerful in fact. At that point your cloak of resistance wont give you any save bonuses, any deflection bonuses that are from a magical source wont help against touch attacks from psionic powers, magical darkness wont stop line of sight, a magical wall of XXXX spell wont stop line of effect.. etc etc. psionics being different is definately an option (though it isnt the default, so it should still be mentioned which version is being used), plus in a world without psionic rules psioniclike abilities are the same as spell like by default. So even with the psionics is different rule the ring should still work against mental control. [/QUOTE]
