[QUOTE="Saeviomagy, post: 834281, member: 5890"] There's a million tactics to do the exact same thing. Portable holes, polymorphs, reductions etc. When they use it, so what? So they can get into places without magical protection. More on this below. This is just part of the "magical PC's in a non-magical environment" syndrome. If you jail the PC's, do the guards leave the wizard with his 'harmless bag of herbs', or the cleric with his holy symbol? Do prisons really have no way of coping with magically active characters? If that's the truth, then why not? I'm a guard at a castle. I know I live in a magical world. I know that there are many types of magical creatures about, and furthermore that there are methods for turning a man into a creature. Hell, a guy who used to live down the street from me ended up being apprenticed to this mage, and can pull some of this stuff. We talk about it in the pub whenever we get together for birthdays and things. Hang on a sec. Don't those birds usually travel in big flocks? Why are five or six of them flying into the courtyard? What're they doing going into the kings chamber through his window? Where's the duty mage! Get Ganmalf out here, I think we've got a situation. Hi Ganmalf. See any auras over near the kings chamber? Yeah, that'd be them - a few little bird sized things. Get a patrol together and call out the standby wizard - I think we've got some adventurers on our hands... [/QUOTE]
