[RPG] Will an Amulet of Proof against Detection and Location protect an invisible character from being observed by True Sight or Robe of Eyes

Will an Amulet of Proof against Detection and Location protect an invisible character from being observed directly with divination magic?

I get that the Amulet would prevent the wearer from being detected by location/scrying type spells, but would it also protect them from being detected in ordinary line-of-sight by somebody with an effect that would allow them to see invisible, like Truesight or wearing a Robe of Eyes?

From the description of the item:

While wearing this amulet, you are hidden from divination magic. You can't be targeted by such magic or perceived through magical scrying sensors.

Does being looked at by somebody who can see invisible creatures count as being the "target" of the magic?

Best Answer

No, it will not protect from standard True Sight or the Robe of Eyes

The Amulet of Proof against Detection and Location only says that you are:

hidden from divination magic. You can't be targeted by such magic or perceived through magical scrying sensors.

Not divination magic or magical scrying sensors

Standard Truesight and the Robe of Eyes just allow you to see Invisible creatures. There is no divination magic involved and neither are Magical Scrying sensors - they are just things that provide the ability to see invisible creatures.

It's all about the source of True Sight/seeing invisible

It would work against True Sight delivered via the spell True Seeing as that is specifically divination magic which the amulet protects against.

If the source of whatever gives a creature the ability to see invisible is directly associated with divination magic or magical scrying, then it would work. But that connection must be explicitly stated in order for it to work.
