    \$\begingroup\$ I think the scrying sensor is irrelevant to this question, as are any other spell effects. The question is whether the target knows they are targeted before/during the casting of the spell so that they can decide whether to fail the save, which means that no spell effects have happened yet. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Dec 22, 2018 at 0:27

  • \$\begingroup\$ Just to clarify, after the save has been made, the target knows it was the target of a spell, correct? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jul 24, 2019 at 9:53

    \$\begingroup\$ @BlueMoon93 No. Why would you? The player might know (because they've been asked to roll a wisdom saving throw for no obvious reason, and could suspect something), but the character has been given no information at all. The only reason I'd see for a character to know they had been targeted by the Scrying spell would be if they failed the save and can see invisible things. In that case, they'd see the sensor floating near them. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jul 24, 2019 at 17:32

    \$\begingroup\$ As for a means to intentionally fail a scrying save....that's what spells like Sending are for. "Hey, Mr. Spy, I'm about to scry on you, okay?" \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jul 31, 2021 at 13:54
