Scrying range

[atomn]

Good morning everyone. Say, what's the range for the spell Scrying? It says "see text", but in the text only lists the area around the target. I'm guessing there is no range since you can scry across dimensions. Is that correct? Thanks!

 

[moritheil]

Its range is effectively limited only by things that prevent scrying.

 

[atomn]

Slick, thanks!

You can see and hear some creature, which may be at any distance.

Scrying is not limited by range.

What are the easy ways for a group to defend against scrying?

Nondetection effectively gives you SR against scrying. Amulets of Nondetection are always something PCs in my games go after.

 

[Wrathamon]

those are expensive and grants SR... anything else?

I have Nondetection amulets ( or wand of non-detection)

psionics have mind blank?

Psionics have both mind blank and a limited and lower level version that´s Personal in range. Easiest way to protect against Scrying, though, is lead: Lead sheeting or magical protection blocks a scrying spell, and you sense that the spell is so blocked

 

[Wrathamon]

what ='s magical protection?

Lead doesnt work when the characters are movign but it is great for a lair!

Well...

Lead (as has been mentioned), Mind Blank, and Mage's Private Sanctum stop it cold; spell resistance, increased will saves, Nondetection (also mentioned), and being on another plane (Ethereal Jaunt, Etherealness, Plane Shift, Rope Trick, Mage's Magnificient Mansion) make scrying trickier in one way or another: Scrying and it's Greater counterpart both permit SR and Will saves; Nondetection requires a caster level check before such things will work, and being on a different plane grants a +5 bonus to the defender's Will save. Detect Scrying, while it doesn't actually stop the sensor, lets you know about it so you can do something about it. There's a couple of others along similar lines - the XPH, for instance, has an actual trap power for those attempting to Scry on you.
