05-20-06, 01:34 AM mind blank. makes you immune to all mind-affecting affects. 8th level spell IIRC.
if you're just worried about someone talking in your head, build a magical foil hat that only blocks telepathy spells/powers. oh, and the orbital mind-control lasers. they're up there, they're just invisible.

What about a spell that acts like silence but instead of supressing verbal communication, it supresses telepathic communication?

none that I know of, but go ahead and write one up :)
I'd say solid 2nd level wizard spell, blocks telepathic thoughs as well as mind control that works through telepathy (dominate, etc).

just being able to keep people from talking in your head is not powerful, since it gives you no advantage. and blocking control via telepathy can already be done by protection from evil et. al. and they're 1st level!
2nd level, abjuration[Mind-Affecting],personal, 1hr/level (D), material component: one foil hat. done!

It is to easy to black mindeffecting anyways. Just about everything you fight as a telepath has some helm of save my ass.
