Forbiddance in the SRD. (https://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/forbiddance.htm) It can protect your residence, stronghold or whatever.

Having guests drop dead is a bad look. What is the best way to take advantage of forbiddance without disclosing any passwords? I want to be able to invite guests, keep them out of places they shouldn't be, and also have good security.

SR applies. Pop Spell Immunity on them, and Heighten Spell the Forbiddance on non-guest areas.

Then give your guests necklaces that radiate AMFs to block the forbiddance while they're there. Then when it's time for them to leave, they give back the necklaces and leave the same way they came. Alternatively, they could roll around your base in hamster-balls that block LoE.

Technically they'd only need to be within the AMF when they enter the area, when the damage would need to be suppressed, right? If they enter the AMF, enter the forbiddance, then exit the AMF while remaining in the forbiddance, the damage shouldn't proc, right?

Greater spell immunity (https://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/spellImmunityGreater.htm) seems like it would work.

Seems like the best answer is simply ensuring that your guests share your alignment, which has numerous side benefits. Compel, mindrape, morality undone, nar fiendbond, programmed amnesia. I guess sanctify the wicked if you have a bunch of character levels to burn and don't mind the one-year delay.

I can't believe I'm the first one proposing mindrape as a solution in a GitP thread. I've become corrupted and must seek an atonement at once. :smallamused:
