Got what should hopefully be a simple question:
I want to build a trap that sets up a Zone of Truth. Basically, the interrogator walks up to the switch and activates the trap before getting within range of it himself.
What I need help with is this: how do I increase the save DC? With a trap, the DC is only 18. I haven't been able to find any rules for improving the Save DC of traps.
I would like a DC of 30-40 or so. (I would also like the effect to last much longer)
(No, I'm not the DM, so I can't just handwave it--I have to actually pay somebody to make this thing in game.)
Thanks!
EDIT: OR, alternately, is there a way to couple two effects together, so that the subject of the zone of truth starts glowing red or something if he failed his save? Because resetting the trap and forcing a new saving throw until a natural 1 wouldn't be a problem.
