[QUOTE="Murrdox, post: 2508770, member: 10131"] Most likely he would have at least two or three methods to "escape" from his enemies and return to a safehouse, or his main lair. At 15th level, it is certainly possible that the wizard has an alternate safe-house he can get to if his main headquarters is comprimised. Also, with access to 8th level spells, this Wizard has a LOT of options left to him. If he is evil, he could have a "Clone" as per the spell - waiting in several safe-houses should he die. If he is a Necromancer, he might even have more than 1 clone available to him. This would be a last-ditch effort, since all his equipment would undoubtably be taken by those who slay him... but an evil wizard can't always count on friends to Ressurect him. A possibility would be a "Contingency" and "Teleport" on it, programmed to automatically Teleport him to one of his safe houses, if his HP drops to a certain level. He would most certainly have Death Ward, Protection from Spells, and some magic items that possibly grant him SR. Having a wand or ring with charges of "Dimension Door" would allow him to escape from combat, and then quickly teleport, fly, or get away by other means. I've mostly gone into means of escaping here... but this is one very very resourceful wizard you have here. The possibilites for him are nearly endless. I would tailor his methods to his personality. Does he have access to creatures he can summon to his aid? Does he have Golems? [/QUOTE]
