Until the spell ends, one willing creature you touch is immune to psychic damage, any effect that would sense its emotions or read its thoughts, divination spells, and the charmed condition. The spell even foils wish spells and spells or effects of similar power used to affect the target's mind or to gain information about the target.

Posted Nov 9, 2021Disappointed that this spell isn't available to sorcerers, even though we can take Intellect Fortress. Only reason I can think for this being the case is that with Mind Blank working on targets other than yourself that means you could Twinned Spell it?
But I feel like sorcerers lose an awful lot of spells on that basis, considering 8 sorcery points to have Mind Blank affect two targets doesn't seem OP to me.

Posted Apr 26, 2022Please keep in mind that Arcane Eye does not target or affect creatures.
You are immune to divination spells.
The light that bounces off of you does not acquire that immunity.
The trees that photosynthesize that light do not acquire that immunity.
The houses built from those trees do not acquire that immunity.
EDIT: There's also the part about immunity to spells and effects that are used to gain information about the target. Then again, no matter how immune I am to a microphone/camera, that doesn't stop it from recording my voice/image. Hard to say on that particular part.
EDIT2: It's a little more clear now. Consider the following spell, which explicitly blocks perception of the target through scrying sensors (like arcane eye) https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/nondetection. This means that the rules support selectively scrubbing someone out of a an image for particular observers, even if the subject is not targeted by that observer. If the rules do indeed account for indirect effects like that, it's very likely that this spell protects from Arcane Eye.

Posted May 24, 2022Polymorph, True Polymorph, Greater Restoration, Dispel Magic, unreleased/homebrew spells may be foiled by Mind Blank if they'd otherwise affect a target's mind depending on dungeon master's approval
edit: 6th level Heal on 8th level Feeblemind; the order matters: target fails Feeblemind, Mind Blank is then cast on them so Heal, Greater Restoration and Wish are foiled thanks to the spell's specificity

Posted May 25, 2022Good catch! As these substitute the target's mental stats. Then also Mass Polymorph belongs on this list: https://********/spells.html#mass polymorph_xge
I updated the table.

Posted Jun 22, 2022Really feel like this should be called Mind Shield. Mind Blank sounds like an offensive spell that wipes someone’s memory.

Posted Dec 2, 2022I read that some npc in the Strahd book polymorphs under mind blank or may be shape shifting
it does not directly target the mind
also dispel magic isnt foiled since it targets the spell or effect not the mind

I would argue this Line RAW and RAI says it would. But as aslways DM has final say

Posted Apr 27, 2024No, it only affects the mind not illusions, invisibility, etc. It does not somehow cancel out True Sight and bolster an invisibility or illusion spell. So when it says it protects against divination, that doesn't mean it blocks someone from being seen but rather protects the target against having their mind/intentions read to predict their future actions (go back and read the spell description for divination).

Posted Jun 28, 2024I understand that Staggering Smite does O psychic damage to a creature under the effects of Mind Blank. What about the other effects of the spell?
Would those effects still apply?

Posted Jul 1, 2024Yes. Immunity to a type of damage doesn't impact other effects of a spell that also causes that type of damage. The other effects of Staggering Smite are to impose disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks, and prohibit taking reactions. This spell doesn't say it stops any of those things.
