hiding from detect spells


Advice


I'm looking for some ways to hide from detect spells, primarily detect evil and detect undead. As a martial character would there be any magic items that would cover that?


Amulet of Proof Against Detection and Location is the canonical (though imperfect) solution for that.


The Rune of the Inscrutable One is a bit expensive, but then, anything to permanently hide auras will be expensive. It's functionally a permanent Misdirection, with an added bonus against divining attempts.


That amulet only stops location based spells(and scrying). It does not stop detect evil or detect undead.

If a divination spell is attempted against the wearer, the caster of the divination must succeed on a caster level check (1d20 + caster level) against a DC of 19 (as if the wearer had cast nondetection on herself).

The warded creature or object becomes difficult to detect by divination spells such as clairaudience/clairvoyance, locate object, and detect spells.

Despite the name (and the first line of the description, which is a summary and not a mechanic) the actual effect of the amulet is pretty general.


Yes from what i read on the item it does nothing to protect against undead. Plus 35k is a long way out of my price range; As long as the item stops detect undead it would be enough protection against detect evil would just be icing on the cake hoping for something for 3000-6000 gold tho.


People very rarely prepare or cast detect undead. A good enough disguise(like hat of disguise) should be plenty unless your GM is out to get you.

except for paladins against undead who get it instead of detect evil

Carry a lead sheet...


Get a Ring of Mind Shielding:
The wearer is continually immune to detect thoughts, discern lies, and any attempt to magically discern her alignment.

The ring [8K] prevents Detect Evil working 24/7.

The spells Appearance of Life and Fleshy Facade both give a save vs. detect undead.

Maybe get the GM to modify the ring to swap Detect Undead for Detect Thoughts?

Note: the smite still works, but the paladin may not know to use it.
