[QUOTE="redrick, post: 7082740, member: 6777696"] Let them detect magic! This is something the Warlock invested in. Keep using magic items and magic traps the way you did before, and let the Warlock revel in how great it is to cast it any time in a hurry. But sneak in a couple magic items and magic traps disguised with methods described above. Let your Warlock get hammered by a properly concealed magic trap if they are too comfortable depending on Detect Magic. I think sticking with the mundane shieldings (lead, stone and distance) is better than "Detect Magic Nullification" fields like Nystul's Magic Aura. Just turning off player abilities by fiat is lame; much better to be aware of the limitations of those abilities and exploit them. [/QUOTE]
