[QUOTE="kreynolds, post: 115140, member: 2829"] Either way, in the case of Teleport without Error, all you need is a reliable description of the ship, and if you've been there before, that's reliable enough for me. Now in the case of the ship moving? I think I'm starting to see everyone's arguement on this, and I'm starting to like it. It seems appropriate that you teleport to a point in space as opposed to just "where you wanna go". Also, in regards to teleporting onto the back of a flying dragon (Psifon made a good point with the line of sight bit), if you can see the dragon, then sure, I'll let you do it without a problem. But if you can't see the dragon or the ship, it makes sense that a Scry would be in order. Once you scry, I think you would have plenty enough information to teleport to the ship or dragon. However, teleport without error specifically states that if your description of the location is not reliable, you don't actually teleport anywhere, as you simply disappear and reappear in the same location. So, if you try to teleport to a ship that you remember being docked, but it is now out to sea sailing around, the teleport attempt will simply fail, as opposed to send you into mid-air above the docks and falling into the water. It's my opinion that if the location moves, your description is automatically unrealiable, thus you don't go anywhere. So, no popping up in mid-air in the middle of the ocean. [/QUOTE]
