[QUOTE="Gorgon Zee, post: 6797092, member: 75787"] [URL="http://theangrygm.com/traps-suck/"] Sorry, as an evil wizard I do not want to do my own cleaning, and staff are hard to replace, so fatal traps are big turn-off for me. Also, I didn't create the trap, but I bought it and they are MUCH cheaper if you get the off-the-shelf version (with passwords) rather than the custom-programmed version (tuned to me). In addition, one day I expect to leave my lair when I become evil overlord, and the resale value on traps only I can bypass is tiny. And I really don't want to be found dead in my study because I was drunk and confused the "galooshka" trap in my library with the "azooka" trap in the study. I'm an evil wizard, but not a tedious, no-fun, spend-all-day-studying type. I like to party. Vodka and word-trigger death traps mix very badly. My traps incapacitate the victim and then alert suitable intelligent people (usually me) to decide what to do with them. Hypnotic patterns are good, but so are boxing in with walls of force and some form of metal that is super-hard to break through. I have considered becoming resistant to Iocaine powder and using it in poison traps, but I hear that takes years and the stuff is really expensive. Also I worry my cleaning staff might decide to rebel and since it is colorless and odorless, it's not a great thing to leave lying about anywhere where I might eat[/url] [/QUOTE]
