3.5 We're being scryed on
We're being scryed on. How do I find the culprit and make him or her pay?
I'm playing a level 8 wizard (well wiz 5 incantatrix(incantatar) 3) and I can pretty much purchase scrolls to learn any spell I need. The rest of the party is also level 8 there are five of them, they are - Sorcerer, Ranger/scout, fighter/rouge, paladin/hunter of the dead, and a warmage/favored soul nearing his level of maximum uselessness.Last edited by Tyrrell; 2009-07-13 at 08:59 PM.

Re: 3.5 We're being scryed on
Some item in the MIC damages someone who scrys on you. Don't recall the name, but it is in the Bukko's bargin basement thread on Gleemax.

Re: 3.5 We're being scryed on
Detect Scrying + False Vision (although that second one will need to wait a little while), plus misinformation (give him some false blackmail on someone who will have him for lunch for the attempt - make sure that the person whom you're planting the false blackmail on has an ironclad alibi - shouldn't be hard).
If you can Quicken it, you can get away with Major Image instead of False Vision, but it's a lot trickier.Last edited by Jack_Simth; 2009-07-13 at 09:04 PM.
Of course, by the time I finish this post, it will already be obsolete. C'est la vie.

Re: 3.5 We're being scryed on
Finding out who is easy with Detect Scrying.
Countering it is a bit harder. Once you have another level under your belt, you can pull a teleport ambush on them (or buy a scroll, it amounts to the same thing as gaining a level). Otherwise you have to track them down (remember that you know direction and distance when being scryed on) which means that they'll be ready for you.Last projects, from years back: Lesser Disciplines (Tome of Battle). Also, Never Behind the Curve (multiclassing).
Some of my current work is under the name IGTN on D&D Wiki

Steal the DM's notes, find out what NPC might be doing it, kill him/her/it arbitrarily. Tell the DM how incredibly lame scrying is.
obnoxious

Re: 3.5 We're being scryed on
If the rogue can reliably make a DC 20 Bluff check, he can speak in a manner that makes sense to the person or persons he is talking to, and incomprehensible to everyone else. (or Wizards with cross class Sense Motive). This is how the party now communicates with the outside world.
At your next level-up, everyone spends two skill points on Speak Language: Roper. Or Drow Sign- eat that, Tongues!

Re: 3.5 We're being scryed on
There is a spell in Magic of Eberron called Scry Trap. Never looked at it in detail but the name should give it away.

Re: 3.5 We're being scryed on
I just looked that up. It's fifth level, if we kill enough Vampires and trolls erre we get back to civilization I might be able to snag it.
It does 1d6 per caster level and blinds for 1 minute (save for half and no blindness) and acts as a dispel magic vs the scrying spell. It lasts ofr 1 hour per level (I can extend that sucker with my Incantatrix tricks to two hours per level). There is no expensive material component, it looks perfect.

Re: 3.5 We're being scryed on
Would this DM be amenable to your character inventing a spell that deflected/prevented/blocked scrying? This allows you to avoid the questionable tactic of metagaming, all while enhancing your character's reputation for innovation.
Don't argue with the ignorant: They'll drag you down to their level, and then beat you with experience.

Re: 3.5 We're being scryed on
I pulled up Bunko's Bargain Basement and got more info on the item. It's from Dragon compendium, not MIC.
