[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 98712, member: 2209"] [b]#2 Mind Blank[/b] You don't have the rules or argument sections filled in on #2 Mind Blank protections. The SRD description is quoted in my previous post. But here it is again: "The subject is protected from all devices and spells that detect, influence, or read emotions or thoughts. This spell protects against all mind-affecting spells and effects as well as information gathering by divination spells or effects. Mind blank even foils limited wish, miracle, and wish when they are used in such a way as to affect the subject’s mind or to gain information about him. In the case of scrying that scans an area that the creature is in, such as arcane eye, the spell works but the creature simply isn’t detected. Scrying attempts that are targeted specifically at the subject do not work at all." Here are some suggestions for the argument sections on #2 Mind Blank protections Argument For: The spell explicitly lists mind reading and scrying. The "information gathering by divinations" language can be interpreted as only applying to those two types of effects. Protecting against all scrying, mind reading and mind affecting spells for an entire day is very powerful and fits the concept of mind protection and some magical stealth cloaking. Protection from all divinations is overboard. Argument Against: It says "This spell protects against all ... information gathering by divinations" and even lists wishes and miracles used to gather information. Neither seems to be limited to minds or scrying. [/QUOTE]
