Ok, I only caught part of this. What the hell is an enveloping pit?

Yo mama...

Cheaper and far superior Portable Hole. That's fucking awesome.

Yeah, it's like 16k gp cheaper or so.   Even without being able to use the remote control option, it's still great.

Ok, so Magic Missile skeleton towers of doom, spell immunity and possible Persist tricks, different sorts of spell turret traps, lots of clones, desecrate and unhallow over the entire area because it's a fucking lich queen's lair, over 9,000 undead...

Intelligent necromancers, or would that compromise the security too much?

What are 3 9th level spells of different schools other than Necromancy that have no effect on undead but can still screw up the living?

Sunic may be more abrasive than sandpaper coated in chainsaws (not that its a bad thing, he really does know what he's talking about), but just posting in this thread without warning and telling him he's an asshole which, if you knew his past experiences on WotC and Paizo is flat-out uncalled for. Never mind the insults (which are clearly 4Chan-level childish). You say people like Sunic are the bane of the internet? Try looking at your own post and telling me you are better than him.

Energy Substitution (Cold)
Meteor Swarm

Disjunction

Power Word Kill

EDIT: The bear's right; Meteor Swarm does bludgeoning, too. I dunno, Weird works as a replacement.

And any other nasties that are Heightened to the appropiate level ofcourse, no need to limit yourself to 9th level ;)

Also, isn't Meteor Swarm part Bludgeoning damage as well?

Meteor Swarm only does Bludgeoning damage on a direct hit. Seeing as it would be targeting the nearest unauthorized creature (a PC)...

Uttercold Energy Sub Meteor Swarm works, though given the way energy resist works with it it's more for healing her, and any other undead with cold immunity than hurting the PCs. Power Word Kill is also good. However I'm pretending Game Disjunction doesn't exist for reasons that should be obvious. Hm... Not Necromancy, Evocation, or Enchantment... Preferably no save, since it uses item based DCs which suck horribly. Metamagiced Summon Undead, perhaps? Though Summon Undead is capped at 5, and the results are non variable so Maximize and Empower don't help. Any ideas here?

The idea is that there are four of these, and they cycle so there's a Mass Harm every round, an Uttercold Meteor Swarm every round, a PW: Kill every round, and the other thing every round. Well, fifth round they all repair, and barring delayed activation there's nothing that can be done about that.

Twinned Summon Undead V could work. Or Extended Repeating Summon Undead V.
