Instead you usually get necrotic damage with an equal amount of max hit point loss or a level of exhaustion. For the trap's damage, on a successful save I would say 5d10 necrotic damage with a equal loss of max hit points. While in there, the monk should either take 10d10 necrotic damage /max hit point reduction at the start of each hour or take a level of exhaustion each hour. Take a look at the AoW 00 file for the trap conversion cheat sheet I did for why I came up with that much necrotic damage.Bozal Zohal's mentor, a 20th level cleric, made that trap. It would be reasonable for the mage to have a DC19 saving throw DC, so that for saves against being trapped. The DC for dispel magic should be 10 + the level of the spell. The mentor can cast 9th-level spells, so DC 19 would work for dispel magic as well. There are several classes that have dispel magic. Without that, destroying the box may be the solution. Too bad the wizard is out of spells. Maybe a Paladin could smite it? Break DC would be a DC 23 Strength check to break it. Did anyone bring a portable ram? A DC 25 Intelligence (Arcana) check against the magic (converting the DC 35 Disable Device) would be another possibility.</blockquote>
