[QUOTE="Numion, post: 2034908, member: 124"] We thought some pretty strange uses for the Ring Gates .. like the Pit Stop. Hire a bunch of clerics and wizards ready with spells in a small room, with the Ring Gate in their middle. The adventuring party, elsewhere completely, gets into a tough fight, a hurt character could insert his head into the Ring Gate. Then the famed Pit Stop Clerics & Wizards would each within a round slap Heal, Death Ward, Spell Resistance, Invisibility and such on the character :p Another non-Ring Gate idea was the True Resurrection Insurance, to prevent TPKs. Give a cleric of high level and good standing a deposit for a True Resurrection diamond and casting cost + then some. Then tell the cleric that "if you don't hear from me in 1 / 2 / 3 months, cast the True Resurrection on me." No body is required, so it would succeed if a TPK has happened and everyone died with no one to carry back the information or bodies. So BBEGs take notice: imprison, don't kill. Otherwise they'll just come back. [/QUOTE]
