Maze Contingency

[Krackne]

I'm working out an encounter where both the PC's and the BBEG have access to maze, so I'm trying to think of contingencies both parties will likely use. So far I've come up with having a solid Int score, the fortune hex, and preemptively casting dimensional anchor. Any other ideas/thoughts?

See, I thought this was going to be about finding a way to use maze on a contingency spell for a wizard to maze himself for free buff time when combat starts since he'd probably be able to get out of it easily enough.

Is the BBEG high enough level to cast Spellbane? Spellbane naming Maze (and some other important encounter-ending spells) can be really handy.

Alternatively, you could get a pet minotaur.
