[QUOTE="A'koss, post: 2120429, member: 840"] Sounds interesting - I've had several very similar scenerios happens in various campaigns in the past. 1. As the ruler of a city I am going be very reluctant to allow this, regardless of how grateful I am for all the heroes efforts. Fame in a D&D world is painting a target on your forehead and waiting for the bombs to fall. I have to think of the ramifications over the long term. What if someone of a... less pleasant disposition... were to take over the school? Or it became corrupt over a period of time. Now you have a demiplane with a horde of powerful individuals with direct access to the heart of a number of cities. Thanks, but no thanks. My (humble) suggestion would be set up a single portal somewhere outside of a single centrally-located city. Have one way to get in, and one way to get out. It will be easier for security on both ends. 2. Costs will depend on how it is organized. If you somehow manage to convice various city administration to allow portals in their city, they will charge you a handsome sum for "security measures" and easy means of permanently disabling the portal on their end. 3. I'm sure you'd have little trouble filling classes. Though if start attracting too many, nations are going to want some assurances that you're not just going to build your own private army of spellcasters, regardless of how noble your intentions. Expect spies and thieves to be common problems, but the real problems will come from those who will want to tarnish your reputation (if you are stealing students from other schools) and those who will just want to bring you down (for whatever reason). The latter is going to love all the potential collateral damage. [/QUOTE]
