STOP THIEF! Suggestions needed on making your room burglar proof!

[Hammerhead]

Well, as a 9th level evoker, I assume you have a fearsome reputation. No common thief will steal from your room. If one does, make it known YOU will track him down and YOU will kill him. A Scry spell will do the trick. After you get a reputation for killing punks who break into your room, they'll leave you alone. Or, depending on your alignment, make an arrangement with the Thieve's Guild. Besides, your spells will be able to stop them anyway.

As for uncommon, high level, magic-equipped thieves: guards, invisible needles, alarm spells, and/or whatever probably won't help. Generally, if a 12th level rogue combined with some mage and cleric friends want to steal your stuff, not much you can will stop them.

Bait and switch. Follow all the security procedures noted above but replace the actual spellbook with one that does something unexpected and nasty, like explode an hour after being removed or suddenly turn into a very detailed biography of the thief.

If you have the money and the connections, hire a cleric to set your personal space up within a zone of forbiddance.

Don't forget Stone of Alarm: cheap and very versatile. Attach it to a spool of very fine silk thread, then span that thread all across your window, door, etc.

"Hide" your backup spellbook with a friendly Dragon. In trade for some "consideration" -- spells, favors, loot -- the Dragon may even watch over some of your stuff.

It helps if you're good, as evil dragons tend to be ... harder to deal with.
