[QUOTE="Pbartender, post: 368737, member: 7533"] Another mean trick would be to give the wizard a "dummy" treasure chest, or cabinet, or closet that works exactly like a Bag of Devouring. Or perhaps you could have a special habitat room in the basement that is designed to harness the energy of a large colony of Shocker Lizards. The wizard uses the energy for semi-magical lighting and heat, and for arcane experiments. If the Lizards are released or killed, the house is plunged into darkness. Don't forget to give the wizard a good familiar. With the Improved Familiar feat, you can have some particularly tough ones... A quasit, an imp, a stirge, a beholderkin, or any "normal" familiar with a feindish template would probably be appropriate. Unless you make him 12th+ level, he wouldn't be able to use Shield Guardians or Golems (he wouldn't be high enough level to construct them). Animated Objects might be a reasonable alternative. Imagine entering the wizard's library, only to have all the books come flying off the shelves at you... A horde of Tiny animated objects swarming the characters. Just how nasty do you want to be?
