[QUOTE="AndrewRogue, post: 4277178, member: 60448"] Being unarmed and unarmored is a big problem. Resisting arrest, especially as a powerful individual, is a big deal. The simplest answer might just be the simplest. If the guards are incapable of dealing with a prisoner, they don't go soft. The problem is, extraordinary people need extraordinary prisons. When that isn't possible, the answer is obvious. You make it so you CAN deal with it. Extraordinary prisoners (i.e. the PCs) will be carefully taken care of. Multiple guards, tied, bound and gagged. If the wizard does something stupid, like, say, Magic Missile the interrogator, he is clearly a threat. He'll be summarilly beaten, chained, manacled and blindfolded. Hell, he could well be maimed or killed on the spot. So... how do you manage effective imprisoning of the PCs? If you can't come up with a way for the prison to function, you make the PCs abide by the system. Misbehaving brings swift and drastic punishment that ensures the PCs don't do it again. Edit: Seriously. Think of the PCs like epic heroes or, if you must, super heroes. A world with these sort of things is going to come up with some sort of system to deal with them, so having "PC Prisons" isn't that unreasonable. Hell, maybe you just need to consider that, after a certain point, imprisonment as we see it (throw 'em in a cell) just isn't suited for the PCs anymore. Then you start chucking them in pocket planes or something. [/QUOTE]
