[QUOTE="Shadow_Tickle, post: 5723111, member: 6683558"] A bit confused here. If your talking about PC's then the only real time that I can forsee an illusionist going full out booby trapping a building is when they wish to protect their own homes or have been hired as bodyguards. Another possible scenario I suppose would be if they were already in a dungeon trapped with enemies and used their own traps (covered/masked with illusions) against them but this would depend greatly on the dungeon layout. IMO, this would come down to: 1) How skilled the illusionist is at acting, which is a separate problem. 2) What type of personality the "Captain" has. "You there, what are you doing waving your arms about/staring off into space? Help that stupid guard find his keys or I'll tell so&so that the reason his son spent so long in prison was because of you." Get in the dude's face, disrupt his concentration and poof, at very best they will know that you have a magical aura (have a magic item.) 3) What excuse they give. "Prisoner Transfer, hand him over to me so we can interrogate him." "The Mayor wants to speak with this one. Seems his daddy is a big shot." To be honest I don't see the problem with this one. Decent to Good acting required from PC is not a drawback. Heck, I'd ask for a disguise check to make sure the illusion is of decent quality. [/QUOTE]
