Can i Glyph of Warding my backpack?


Rules Questions


Can i put Glyph of Warding on my backpack? It says that "each drawer may be warded separately" and stuff, but seems to be immovable otherwise. Well it have to move with rotation and movement of Golarion in space, but you get what i mean.

Yes you can as long as it doesn't exceed the target area. So a 5th level caster would have 25 sq ft.

The drawers they listed is an exception to the one single object rule, as they point out that each "drawer" is an object.


You can, but it might be rather tricky to use the backpack without setting off the glyph. I'd rather use arcane lock and magic mouth for security -- find out if anyone is trying to get into the backback, then deal with them yourself.

You set all of the conditions of the ward. Typically, any creature entering the warded area or opening the warded object without speaking a password (which you set when casting the spell) is subject to the magic it stores. Alternatively or in addition to a password trigger, glyphs can be set according to physical characteristics (such as height or weight) or creature type, subtype, or kind. Glyphs can also be set with respect to good, evil, law, or chaos, or to pass those of your religion.

Seems pretty easy to me. Set a password, or make it trigger on anyone but someone of your height/weight/creature type.

Seems solid. Nothing wrong with that.
