We got more than four words from Skip!!!!!!!!! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />I'm glad my gut instinct on it was the way Skip went with his reply. I thought Monte's answer fit the "all divination" mention in the text, but I think they (the designers in the re-write for 3E) threw it in there without realizing that True Strike had a divination classification. In the other thread I posted the description for the AD&D version of it, and although the wording was very similar, it did not include protection from all divinations.I think Skip went the way he did with his answer because it was as I originally said "Don't read too much into it" (Also known as WotC answer).Since Skip still works full time for WotC (instead of freelancing like Monte does now), I think I'll go with his answer as "canon".This still looks like a good one for people's lists of "House Rule". I would say if Skip's answer still bothers you, and you cannot reconcile it with how you think Mind Blank should work/what it should protect against, then you still can choose to agree with Monte and call it that way in your own campaign.BTW, I agree that the wording of True Strike (and possibly it's classification as a divination) could use a little cleaning up. I think they assigned it as an insight bonus so that it would stack with many other things, but it seems like that type of bonus (and the divination classification) is what generating the most problems with people accepting Skip's word.</blockquote>
