[QUOTE="BlackSeed_Vash, post: 6964239, member: 33580"] The Scry and Fry tactic is a great. Let your players use it as much as they want. That being said, your BBEG should have minions. Some of them should be able to use Scry and Teleport. There is nothing wrong with them stopping by and visiting your players and NPCs they want to protect... Especially at inconvenient times with as many other minions as they can take with them. The more often your players [b]try[/b] use this tactic, the more visits they get from the minions. Also, check out the Contingency spell (PH 213) and Craft Contingent Spell feat (Complete Arcane pg 77). The feat is especially powerful if you allow someone other than the crafter to provide spells. Here are a few of the conditions I've used to trigger a contingency: [1] I take damage. [2] I say a series of specif words or a phrase. [3] I fall unconscious. [4] I die. [5] I cast [i]spell x[/i]. [6] Become effect by [i] spell x[/i] The last two can be used chained a series of buffs for the BBEG or even an escape. My favorite use of the Craft Contingent Spell feat had the BBEG say a particularly quick prayer (free action) to his dark god, triggering the 1st of 6 conditions; which casts Righteous Might. Being effected by Righteous Might triggered the 2nd condition; casting Divine Power. Being effected by Divine Power triggered the 3rd condition; casting Haste. The 5th and 6th conditions teleported him away after falling unconscious and then healed him. So when my players busted door the door ready an "easy" fight since they where prepared to counter/negate most of his powerful spells; they found themselves facing a mountain of a man who was hitting as hard and often as their "tank".
