[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 2709146, member: 19675"] Multiple murderers can be nice, especially if you use the tried and true double switch: Murderer 1 kills Murderer 2's indended victim, and Murderer 2 goes after Murderer 1's intended victim. People have already pointed out there are numerous ways to track a killer via magic... What NOBODY has pointed out is how a killer can USE magic. D&D is full of PCs that can move through walls like a ghost, teleport, become invisible, animate the dead, create magical explosive traps, produce blades of psionic energy at will, use magic items or spells to kill from a distance, or even hop across dimensions like a kid playing hopscotch... Any of which is perfect for an NPC to use directly (kill target personally) or indirectly (hire an assassin). And if the killer is a spellcaster, the Still spell feat will make it impossible for someone using Divination spells to see who is laying the spell on an item. Silence will make sure the murder goes undetected for some time. Disintigrate will do so as well, either as a spell or in the form of a little black sphere... Dumping the body into the Otyugh's midden lair will do a good job of concealing evidence. Green Slime doesn't care if its meal was dead before it got to it. Portable Holes can be used for body parts, as can H's Haversacks. And, of course, let us not forget death by [B][I]Amulet of Angry Panda Attraction[/I][/B]... [/QUOTE]
