[QUOTE="Shrapp Hamnier, post: 6889635, member: 6814107"] I like the cave idea, as well as the small rooms of demiplanes. But my poorly asked question is more about the doors. (I'll make an edit in the OP specifying that). I want to know how to hide the entrances so they CAN be found, but with increasing difficulty to bring out the detective in my players. This will be my first time DMing where I have made a lot of stuff from scratch. I can make dungeons and castles and any other normal layout all day (or week), and I know how to do combat and support magic. But I know nothing of setting up latent magic, such as how to conceal a door or even lay magic traps and wards. Finding them I can do, but I don't want to set anything up that a player couldn't hypothetically do, at least not without a good explanation of why they can't. (Not that I feel a need to explain every minute detail, but I don't want my NPCs to be able to do things "because they can") [/QUOTE]
