[QUOTE="Slobber Monster, post: 2061400, member: 27687"] If the goal is to make it [i]very hard[/i] to protect her then it works just fine. For low level PC's the opponent could be a mundane CR 2-4 thug, so no worry about auto-kill magic missiles and the like. For higher level pc's consider what can be accomplished with spells like Dimension Door, Wall of Force, etc. In any case this would be an investigation scenario and success would depend more on detective work and preparation than any expectation that she would be likely to survive the murder attempt. For those of us who like a little uncertainty with our certainty, there is still some reasonable chance of her running away once combat does break out. (Does it seem that my example is quickly morphing into Hitchcock's "The Man Who Knew Too Much"? Why do I have the suspicion I'm going to wind up using this as a hook somewhere down the line?)
