| yesterday | comment | added | Peter Cordes | Nice, thanks for saving me the trouble of writing a whole answer out of that comment. Interesting point that even if Nondetection prevents seeing the target of a scry when it's in the area, the sensor will follow them if they walk out of it during the 10 minute duration, since it doesn't block targeting so the spell still happens. | |

| yesterday | comment | added | Kirt | @PeterCordes Further reflection and examination of my thought process has revealed that I can't make a hard argument against that second interpretation. I have edited accordingly. | |

| yesterday | comment | added | Kirt | @SeriousBri Sounds like a Ship of Theseus problem. If the place is defined as exactly all of the objects in it, then the removal of a spoon makes it a different place. Take the spoon away and now you can't cast Clairvoyance, since it is no longer "a place you have visited or seen before". I tend to think of a place as a location independent of the easily transportable objects and creatures that can come and go. | |
| yesterday | comment | added | Peter Cordes | This seems like one possible interpretation of the rules, but it also seems to me that it would be valid to treat Nondetection on an area like an opaque cloud that blocks the vision of scrying sensors into the area entirely. So it's a question of how the DM wants magic to work in their campaign world. (The rules argument would be that you can't see someone if they're in an area you can't see.) | |
| yesterday | comment | added | SeriousBri | What is a place if it isn't the things in an area? Would it protect a spoon on a table in the place? Would it protect a spoon the was brought in after the casting? If so, why wouldn't it protect a person, and if not, what does it protect? | |
