[QUOTE="Jack Simth, post: 2835968, member: 29252"] Explosive runes could work, provided they read it. Not that, you know, the 6d6 or whatever damage is going to be fatal when you can't reach them by other means to continue the pounding. A Symbol (of any stripe) lists that it must be placed in a prominent position to work. A note tied to a bird doesn't really count, even though they stop and look at the thing. Also, it the Symbol line specifically lists that it can't be used offensively (and gives an example - touch-triggered Symbol doesn't go off if it's on a sword used to hit someone). Locate Object has a range of Long - great when you happen to know someone will be carrying any correspondence you give them, and that they'll be in the area; great when the target is going to be close by while carrying your note. Not so great otherwise. Might be able to follow it, provided you have an appropriet Move. How fast does a carrier pidgeon fly? However.... Tell me - how do you designate a target? Targetted spells require you to already know where your target is. "... as would a carrier pidgeon ..." carrier pidgeons usually go to locations, not people; you'd have to know where you're sending it. Do keep in mind that even if the above tricks work, your DM learns too. Always nice to not know in advance whether or not that note you received is legit or a trap..... [/QUOTE]
