What exactly can you do to a scrying sensor?

[Tharen the Damned]

Hmm, maybe I'll have to get the BoEM after all- seems like it has some problem areas (from what I've heard), but the scrying sensor approach is something I've been mulling lately already.

In the BoEM III the first chapter is all about scrying and teleportation.

And have a look at andy collins webpage and some of his thoughts on scrying:

He can give it the finger, though.

Hehe. The group in my campaign was being scried on and they spotted the sensor. One PC went up to the sensor and aggressively gave it the finger with both hands, and added some colorful language to whoever it was spying on them.

A few minutes later, the PC cleric received a sending message explaining that it was the high priest who had sent them on their current quest watching them with the scrying spell.

I expect spellcaster BBEGs to use Detect Scrying. Add some planar bindings with teleporting creatures which he sends after annoying scriers...

*nod* What Darklone said. In my current game I've got a wizard ... and while he's not exactly a BBEG, he is a Big Bad Morally-Ambiguous Guy. Not the party's enemy. Yet. He has a magic item with just constant Detect Scrying (24 hour duration makes the price all the more reasonable), and keeps a hit squad of 3 Barbazu and 1 Osyluth compacted and on retainer to deal with pesky scryers. The bone devil runs interferance, invisibly dropping dimentional anchors and walls of ice as needed while the barbazu make things dead, generally one or two at a time.

Look back at the scryer?

Detect Scrying allows the caster to get a look at the scryer. A very useful spell.
