I think this is pretty strongly underpriced. It's not just withholding your actual alignment from divinations, it's actively passing out super beneficial false information to anything that bothers to query your alignment, divination or not. It's an amazing effect that carries effective immunity to a bunch of annoying spells, and it's a steal at 4k. I think it should probably cost substantially more or have a chance of failure, like caster check vs your level + 12 to pierce. - [[User:Tarkisflux|TarkisFlux]] 23:43, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

Cost

I think this is pretty strongly underpriced. It's not just withholding your actual alignment from divinations, it's actively passing out super beneficial false information to anything that bothers to query your alignment, divination or not. It's an amazing effect that carries effective immunity to a bunch of annoying spells, and it's a steal at 4k. I think it should probably cost substantially more or have a chance of failure, like caster check vs your level + 12 to pierce. - TarkisFlux 23:43, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

You may be right, but a Ring of Mind Shielding is only 8k (with no chance of failure).--Tavis McCricket 23:51, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
