How much should it cost to use a permanent teleportation circle?

[QUOTE="kigmatzomat, post: 9242204, member: 9254"] Not if the free space was under a Forbiddance, as I stated. They can't arrive in the circle because it is occupied and they cannot arrive in the nearest unoccupied spot because it is Forbidden. As the teleport circle only bypasses occupied spots ("instantly appears within 5 feet of the destination circle or in the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied"), the teleport won't attempt to deliver them to a spot outside the Forbiddance. So a block of stone stops most users. Most, not all. If you were to teleport in an earth elemental who can pass through stone, they would not consider the space occupied. You could run iron bars through the stone which the elemental cannot pass through. Except ghosts and some other immaterial beings can. Which hopefully the Forbiddance will trap in the stone. Of course when you go to use your circle and lift the stone, you may have various nasties drop on you or jump through the portal. Which gets back to complicated traps and layered defenses. E.g. You did remember to put a Forbiddence on the floor above and floor below the circle to keep those critters from bypassing the 30ft height limit of Forbiddance, right? And eventually whatever defenses you come up with will be defeated by a determined foe, such as Hannibal invading Italy from the Alps. Or simply circumvented like the Maginot Line. So...generally more trouble than they are worth. [/QUOTE]
