163: The Forest Ambush Defuser. Stack several black powder/other explosive material kegs on the disc, then truss them up in robes/hats/other scarecrow accoutrement. Toss an illusion on it if you've got one. Finally, stick Explosive Runes on each barrel.
Maneuver disc in front of you, sneaking up behind it. When ambushers attack the "party" in front of you, they end up just knocking over barrels... which explode when they look at them too carefully.

168. Make an elaborate plot to convince the evil baron to stop oppressing the townsfolk.
Step 1: Prestidigitize his even drink so he doesn't notice the flavor of the sleeping poison.
Step 2: Cast TFD, strip the baron down naked and put him on it. Cover him with a veil.
Step 3: Adorn his manor with mannequins dressed in dark cloaks, and torches.
Step 4: As he awakes, cart him around on the the TFD, bringing him down the "Corridor of Death", using Ghost Sound to fake eerie voices reminding him of all his wrongs.
Step 5: As he reaches the end of the corridor, let the fighter (wielding a scythe) give the baron a chance to bargain for his life.
More trouble than it's worth? I don't think so, unless the baron's killing peasants left and right.

Gnome has a solid steel box created with a trap door at the bottom. the 3.5 by 3.5 by 3.5 foot box needs only a tiny slit on each side for line of site/effect.
The disk moves the impossible to move steel box weight 2or 3 hundred pounds and the gnome permanently has superior cover and total concealment.
In essence the disk carries the box that you are sitting in with your move actions. You become quite literally the first arcane "Tank". You peek out to cast spell and sit back down.
If you really wanted to be cute you could make yourself a parascope and say you are sitting down all of the time.

171. Cast TFD on an outside wall, not on the floor. You now have an elevator that can move sideways too, so you can look in every window on this side of the building. 172. Cast TFD on a rope from ship to sunken wreck and use it to carry salvage booty back to the surface. (I tried this in 3.x but blew an Arcana check to figure out how to modify the spell on-the-fly.  ) 173. Cast TFD on the ceiling as a lure for nosy wizards. Prepare trap in rest of room.

Making it up as I go along:
{BRJN}
If I was writing the Tome of Lore, I would let Auppenser sleep. But I also would have him dream.
In his dreaming he re-activates the innate powers of (some) mortal minds. Or his dreaming changes the nature of reality - currently very malleable thanks to Spellplague &c. Or whatever really cool flavor text and pseudo-science explanation people react positively to.
{Lord_Karsus}
You know, I like that better than the explanations for the Spellplague.
My plot device: http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/ … #489880509 (The reaction is the next post.)
Prepped ahead of time:
I started the thread "1001 Failed Interrogation Results"
{ADHadh}
These are all good and make sense! I just can't come up with something that's not covered here and is not completely ridiculous.

For a while, my Shaman|Warlord was using Tensor's Floating Loungecha--- err, Disk to direct combat from the backlines. Sure, she was considered prone and couldn't shift if someone came after her in melee, but she had fun. Of course, in one combat, she was knocked off the disk and in another one, she was knocked prone and teleported away from it. That kind of sucked because she didn't have a way to get the disk back to her where she was teleported to.

174: Put a throne on it.
Spoiler:

I still get bewildered by the idea of Good races and Bad races. I mean, D&D presents a world where there are literally dozens of sentient humanoid races. And then there's a line drawn down the middle, and some races, such as elves, dragonborn and humans, to name but a few, are put on one side and called Good Guys. And with that they are People. They have Rights. And on the other side go a bunch of other races, goblins, orcs, kobolds, and so on. These are called Bad Guys, and as such, they are not People. It is considered ok by many players to track them down and slaughter them. It shatters my suspension of disbelief to see someone who calls their character a hero, a noble sort of person who tries their damnedest to right wrongs and fight evil, making sure that those goblin women and children don't get away, because, you know, they're goblins.
They're not just stupid beasts. They have societies, culture and language. They have goals, and motivations. I can believe that someone would kill a drow or an orc at first sight, because they probably were up to something. But don't try to tell me that that was a Good act and that you did it because you are a Good Person.
When I'm considering what to do with a group of "bad" humanoids, and I come up with an idea, I mentally replace whatever the "bad guy" of the week is with humans. If it isn't ok to do it to a human, I won't do it to any sentient race.

Killing something because it might be evil = evil
Killing something because it might do something evil = evil
Killing something because it is planning to do something evil = neutral
Killing something because has done something evil = neutral
Killing something because it is doing evil = good

175. Use it as cover for your active familiar. As the familiar is under the disk, which is pretty much inpenatrable, he has full cover from many opponents, as they need to go prone to reach under the disk.
