[3.5] blindsense vs uncanny scent

[Catalysis]

Wich one is the best?

Uncanny scent lets you pinpoint any creature by smell at a range of 20ft, and it costs two (2) feats...

The blindsense ability (dragonborn, mind aspect) has a better range (30ft), but can be easily negated with darkstalker...

Do both abilities work the same way?
Is there a list of all the things that aren't detected by scent?
Does darkstalker also negates scent's pinpoint?

I'm eager to see what you playgrounders think about those!

they both do the same thing. one is just cheaper and has a counter and the other is two feats. (though honestly i prefer my dragon borns with a breath weapon and wings)

Same it is then!

Thanks for the answer!

Umm, I don't know Uncanny Scent, but remember that blindsense only allows you to know which square an invisible opponent is in - it still has total concealment against you.
To beat that you need blindsight.

Yes, scent is foiled by Darkstalker and the monster must make a skill check.

Thank you for the clarification!
