Message: <blockquote data-quote="Feir Fireb" data-source="post: 3027279" data-attributes="member: 14074">This is basically how I picture it, too.  I suggest, however, that there probably any correlation between familiarity and time taken ought to be fairly low.  To a large exent by being a Noble, and especially by being a Duke, you are  the concept of Doors.  As a Duke, when people meet you they'll remember less of how you looked (though that's important to work out) and more, for example, a sense of movement and transience, the way you fit into the surrounding environment, and (if you're feeling persnickity) obstruction.  While Nobles with less a connection to their Estate might find their Domain elusive or slippery, Dukes generally don't.  With that in mind, being able to create these links between doors and the weirdness involved in exactly pinning things down probably says something very fundamental about the nature of Doors and about you as a person.  You're about as familiar with Doors in general as you are with the back of your hand.  You're about as 'at home' with any given door as you are anywhere else (granted, some of them might be like annoying relatives, a horribly unkept attic, or a plumbing problem, requiring more personal effort [and MPs] to deal with).  So not only would a certain amount of randomness make sense, but it could help me rein in a somewhat loose rules interpretation when necessary.  For larger distances and more mystical destinations, of course, you'd need more powerful miracles.  Does this make sense for you?  Does it work for you?For restrictions, "Cannot enter a home uninvited" could work, but remember it may affect "door jumping" pretty adversely!  "Summonable" is, of course, always a fun one.  I would suggest a restrection dealing with your character's attention lack of focus to be kept distinct from his inexactness with Door miracles (do you want the latter to extend beyond "Door Jumping" in any way?).  A limit that might be appropriate if it appeals to you: Uninspiring, 1 MP for Spirit 2 or higher.  Your Spirit is great, but the fire does not show enough to sway others.  A restriction that migth be interesting: Ceremonial.  One can think of all kinds of things that a Power of Doors might be called to do on a regular basis.It'll take you 5 points, not 4, to get the more expensive version of Perfect Timing, so it'll cost 2 levels of abilities.  By dropping 1 level, you could get the lesser version of Perfect Timing and have 3 points left to spend on one or more other things.Great ideas, all around.</blockquote>
