[QUOTE="FormerlyHemlock, post: 6993889, member: 6787650"] My approach to this would be: the Mind Flayers have used psychic surgery to amputate the Zerth's plane shifting abilities. Depending on where you want to go with the Zerth's role in the campaign, a Greater Restoration or Regeneration spell might or might not be able to restore him. A "crippled" Zerth confined to the Prime Material plane is kind of an interesting thing IMO. Naturally, this solution isn't workable with MM Mind Flayers because they can't actually [I]do[/I] sophisticated things with psionics. You'd need to invent at least vague rules for what psionics and psychic surgery are or are not capable of, even if those rules are just, "Elder Brains can permanently disable Plane Shifting on unconscious Zerths with no save." And yes, I would use the exact same approach to imprison a wizard: cut out his tongue and/or cut off his hands. Medieval to the max. [/QUOTE]
