Pits are good but remember some enemies fly and others have really good reflex saves. You need some variety.

If you want to entangle enemies then cold damage spells + the rime spell feat work really well.

i should have clarified that it is 3.p but heavy pathfinder.

i like the idea but not what im going for im kinda just gonna be having fun screwing around and not really playing the spy, i'm mainly gonna be having fun with this doing dumb crap. as far as flying creatures and evasive enemies... the rest of the party is like 8 more people... ill let them handle them lol
