Rules question
If someone scrys, and sees a rune with the trigger of looking at, does the rune go off?

Re: Rules question
I don't believe this is specified anywhere. I think it depends on your interpretation of how a Rune/Glyph/Symbol spell works. Does it automatically affect anyone reading it through any means (scry, telescope, x-ray vision through a wall)? Or does it only trigger on someone physically present? I would rule that anyone reading it with non-magical means within "Long" range (400ft +40 per caster level) would be affected while anyone reading it through magical vision or from beyond that distance would not trigger it at all (i.e. it's still on the wall, waiting to be triggered).

Re: Rules question
I thought the rune doesn't go off if you're more than 60ft away from it?

Re: Rules question
Which kind of rune? There are multiple types in D&D.
If you are discussing those made in FR, the Runecaster prestige class specifies,Any attempt to study, identify, or fathom a rune's meaning counts as 'reading' the rune.Last edited by Fixer; 2008-01-15 at 10:16 AM.
