I want to remove my character from play for some time, and together with the DM we decided that he could be "apparently" dead.
This is not something that my PC will do voluntarily, so I have to create a situation where everyone else thinks I'm dead, but in reality I'm just somewhere else (like, I fell into a trap, and the villain has me prisoner).
This needs to happen during a session, I can't just up and disappear.
Now, DnD being what it is, with all the magic available to the other party members, or friendly NPCs, how can I really keep the appearance of being dead?
If my companions don't find my body, they will start trying to divinate my location with magic. We have a high-level Cleric, who could be using Divine Intervention when everything else fails.
Any suggestion is welcome, but possibly I would like to keep it "by the book" (no excessive homebriew).
One idea I had was that, after disappearing (for example, a tunnel collapses on me, and the villain "rescues" me) the villain could put me in a cell contained in an antimagic field. I suppose that would stop any sort of magical divination?
thanks in advance for the help!
