A "Sensor" is more generic than "scrying sensor". A reader might interpret the answer as stating that nondetection works against all sensors, which might not be the designer's intention. It is already too powerful as it is. No need to make it even more (powerful). | |

| Nov 7, 2022 at 21:03 | comment | added | Slagmoth | Honestly, I think that last line should be first as it is the most important part of the answer... then go into detail about the sensors. Schools of magic do matter no matter how much they have tried to throw them out. +1 | |
| Nov 7, 2022 at 18:03 | comment | added | Kirt | The three spells cited all contain the word 'sensor', but none of them say they make scrying sensors, which is explicitly what notdetection protects against. Thus you seem to be arguing that we can take 'scrying' as implied from its standard meaning in English but that 'sensor' is a specific game key word and not simply 'something that senses'. This answer would be improved by explaining the justification for interpreting one word as a game term but the other not. | |
