Masking Melody: No Scry Protection
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.

Re: Masking Melody: No Scry Protection
Were you scrying the bard under the song or a person that the bard sung to?

The Bard who played his song for himself.
Re: Masking Melody: No Scry Protection
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.
Re: Masking Melody: No Scry Protection
Any more update on this situation?

Re: Masking Melody: No Scry Protection
I wonder if there is some difference between Loremaster scry and the ESF Divination ability?
Re: Masking Melody: No Scry Protection
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.
