[QUOTE="hong, post: 198641, member: 537"] Some sort of permanent antimagic field comes to mind. Maybe hire some beholders to keep watch on her at all times. ;) The REAL answer, IMO, is not to write adventures that depend on these artificial restraints on characters (PC or NPC). Would you write an adventure that assumed a PC was going to be captured at one point? Probably not; not only because players don't like having their characters being caught, but also because high-level characters have lots of options. Artificially limiting these options makes for a contrived feel. That goes for PCs and NPCs both. Perhaps you should rethink the plot hook so that it doesn't depend on a dragon being held captive. Maybe the red has captured the silvers' eggs (a device used in BG2), or is holding a village hostage. This sidesteps the problem you mention; the silvers can still use all their powers, but there may be unpleasant consequences if they do so. [/QUOTE]
