Q232: Are there stats for a cage of any kind (like the barred version of Forcecage, but made of something other than force)?
I'd like to make a shrunken "cage" to carry around with my wizard, to whip out over himself to basically work like a cheap version of the
Cube of Force, but I'm not sure how to stat it out.
It would basically just be a big cage, made out of some mundane material, which he would unshrink over himself. If big enough, it would prevent people from attacking him without long, pointy reach weapons (like spears), or ranged weapons, and even then it would provide cover (basically like the "barred cage" version of Forcecage). They could spend a round or two hacking through it to get to him, though, unlike with a real Forcecage. The thing that's hanging me up is how hard it would be to destroy it. I know that's a function of whatever it's made of, but it should be weaker than a solid surface of the same material. (For example, a stone cage should be easier to smash through than a solid stone wall, I'd think.)
