Re: OOTS #1225 - The Discussion Thread
Epic level escape artist skill let’s you go through some pretty narrow cracks.
And I’m thinking anything in ethereal, incorporeal, ooze, or gaseous form is going to slide right through, door or no door. AMF applies to those in some situations, but not all.
Also, I would point out that even zero level characters can walk through a mundane *secret* door, even in an Anti Magic Field.Last edited by Dion; 2021-02-18 at 12:10 PM.

Re: OOTS #1225 - The Discussion Thread
In the commentary in book 6, Rich mentioned that Book 7 would contain a new ally to the Order, who had previously appeared on one single page of books 1-6 and prequels. There is a thread consisting of speculation who that character might be.
It seems likely that the hooded figure is that person. If so, it's someone we've already met..

Re: OOTS #1225 - The Discussion Thread
I see those are independent variables. Doors are not related to keeping an eye on prisonners. The lack of doors may dissuade putting the effort and resources into watching the prisoners, but you could just as well have a prison with doors that nobody ever checks on, or a door-less cell that is remotely scried upon.
High level casters have the best escape options, but high level barriers are weakest against those that don't rely on magic. An epic rogue or barbarian can do a lot of harm to conventional containment methods, even if reinforced by magic. Extraordinary abilities aren't countered by AMF, and I'm sure there are cheesy prestige classes that would have a few aces up their sleeves for such circumstances.
Also, the presence of doors doesn't really negate all of these non-door based escapes you mention.
I never said "just remove the door and call it a day".Attention LotR fans
Spoiler: LotRThe scouring of the Shire never happened. That's right. After reading books I, II, and III, I stopped reading when the One Ring was thrown into Mount Doom. The story ends there. Nothing worthwhile happened afterwards. Middle-Earth was saved.

Re: OOTS #1225 - The Discussion Thread
We don't have enough information about how the dungeon works yet to be able to answer that. Gate, teleporting, variable connectivity in a multidimensional space... ?
Years'n'years ago, when I introduced a friend to hexaflexagons, he thought it would be interesting to use the concept in laying out an RPG. As the characters would progress, certain conditions would cause the layout to "flex" in a higher-dimensional space, beyond the perceptions of the characters and without the knowledge of the players. The regions would change how they were connected, in a pattern that was consistent but non-obvious.Last edited by bunsen_h; 2021-02-18 at 11:37 PM.
