[QUOTE="orbitalfreak, post: 79400, member: 1669"] I've always been partial to the "Hole There/Not There" pit trap. See Fig1. [code] _______________________ | | | _____..... |________ : :| | : :| | :...:|^^^| [/code] The wall (vertical bars) has Invisibility cast on it, and the hole is covered by an illusion spell to show a floor. The unlucky PC sees just a plain corridor. But the real fun is creating the illusion of a pit before the actual pit (represented by : and ...). PC goes to jump over the "pit", hits the wall, and falls into the real pit, filled with your favorite flavor of traps. ******************** As far as the 5' Staff in a 3' tall area, I say that the extra portions of the staff actually exist in the same space as the "normal" portions of the staff. This, of course, will cause the molecules of the various portions of the staff to fuse together due to their close proximity, creating a very big BOOM!!. ******************** I also had the idea for the Laser-Sphere (a real-life version), a few years back. I saw the potential for it to be used as a weapon, but my initial purpose in thinking it up was to make a cool night-light that could be powered by just a few seconds out in the sun. Instead of being opaque though, the sides were two-way mirrors, letting some of the light seep out to provide illumination. [/QUOTE]
