[QUOTE="Lord Zardoz, post: 3873913, member: 704"] The only real problem in the Scry-Buff-Teleport tactic from a DM standpoint is that the Teleport spell is too powerful. As I suggested in another thread, if the spell took something like a full day to cast, left those who used it stunned or Nauseated for 10 minutes, and made a noise similar to a jet engine landing, it would not be as easy to abuse. Even as it is right now, there are plenty of ways to get around the Teleport problem. First among them would be residing in a pocket dimension. I cannot recall, but I do not think Teleport or Scry can work across dimensions. Another would be to create a spell / magic item that redirects any teleport to a location of the owners choosing. Preferably inside an active volcano. Or just use your own contingency spell to trigger a spell to deal with either the Scrying or the Teleport. Darkness 15 feet radius, an Illusion to give false information. A teleport to trigger when someone teleports into your presence. Plenty of ways to handle it. There is nothing wrong with taking the point of view of the Evil Overlord List. If something is a known issue, come up with some arbitrary ways to get around it. END COMMUNICATION [/QUOTE]
