[QUOTE="Cap'n Kobold, post: 6822488, member: 6802951"] I'd say it would depend upon how the spell conditions are worded. The spell can still detect that something is passing it, just not its type or alignment. So if it was set up to react to "creatures of Evil alignment" then an Evil wearer of a Ring of Mind Shielding could walk past just fine. However, if the conditions were worded "let only Good or Neutral creatures past" then the spell would react to the wearer even if they are good or neutral because the spell can't tell that. Modify Memory allows you to affect someone's mind, but it doesn't allow you to read it or detect anything about them. Nothing in the spell interacts with anything that the ring does. Zone of Truth also doesn't detect anything (other than whether or not you made your save). It just compels you to tell the truth. The ring of Mind shielding doesn't protect against that. If Zone of Truth told the caster when you were lying then the ring would work, but it doesn't. Whether a target made a save against one of your spells isn't covered by the ring. [/QUOTE]
