Masking Melody: No Scry Protection

Post by Rievetel »

In Question:
-Loremaster: Knowledge of Scrying
-Masking Melody

It seems that following the more recent update that Masking Melody (With ESF: Perform) is not functioning to protect against Scrying attempts. In a half-hour instance I have managed to break through a bard's song 4 times as though the ward is entirely nonexistent.

This is without having an Divination Specialization, Spell Focuses and as another bard.
If anyone else can assist in confirming if there is a problem with the song itself please chime in.

Were you scrying the bard under the song or a person that the bard sung to?

I went and testing this on a few other bards using Masking Melody to confirm that it is not just the one individual whom the song is not working for.

There are really no "Steps" for replicating this.

Bard: Applies Masking Melody (With ESF: Perform and Lasting Inspiration)
(Wait a few minutes)
Scrier: Scries target
Results: Breaks through Masking Melody

I wonder if there is some difference between Loremaster scry and the ESF Divination ability?

I have asked the DM team to reach out to you two to help gather data, if you don't hear anything please throw them a message.
