Message: <blockquote data-quote="LazarusLong42" data-source="post: 1388982" data-attributes="member: 9620">...How do you do it?The basic setup:  The PCs will be following the trail of some thieves, looking for an item stolen from a person willing to pay them a lot of money to retrieve this family heirloom.  What they don't know is that the 'thieves' are intending to trap the person paying the PCs--a powerful wizard who is, let's just say, not very nice.So, how would you create a trap for a 20th-level Wizard?  My best bet would be  dimensional anchor and forcecage; neither offers a saving throw, and the trap would cost about 10000 gp to create (for a one-shot).  The problem I see here is that a high-level wizard should always be carrying around disintegrate--which should take care of the forcecage.The NPCs in charge of the trap aren't too worried about the wizard's safety, and only slightly worried about their own; they just want this guy stopped for good.  Of course, they're going to get a PC or two instead--assuming the PCs don't find a way to bypass the trap.So, ENWorlders... are there better spells you would abuse^h^h^h use to trap this wizard?</blockquote>
