[QUOTE="Beholder Bob, post: 1674920, member: 12866"] Ye-gods man, what have you done? You stopped the wheel, only to leave the pogo stick free reign! Will nothing stop the hordes of pogo-hopping goblins from striking across the plains...? Oh, that was close. Thank god for gophers! Aside from that, I have removed all teleport spells in my home brew game. But its impact is further reaching then just PC and merchant trade - gods, devils, demons, angels - none of them can teleport. Planar travel is only possible into Faerie and the Shadowlands. You can also climb up to heaven or go through caverns down to hell. The elemental planes can be sailed to - they are the borders of my realm, physically touching. Teleport ruins a good plot device (besides the many obvious ones) - like why ask the heroes for help when the good guy can teleport over and kick Darth Jr's ass (he's a threat to your 4th level characters, not to the uber powerful 9th level good guy). When teleport is not available, people have to delegate authority more often, info travels slower, and young guns are trusted with dangerous tasks. It also requires more tactics ("What do you mean I can't teleport home to recover after a battle or two? I want to go to Caesar’s palace and gamble, heal, and whore for 2 days! I have to sleep in a dungeon...but I'm a gold member!?!"). You need to conserve your abilities instead of going all out, whomp 1-3 encounters, then retreat via teleport. You need to plan on escape routes, worry about reprisals, etc. Teleport also allows too much dues ex machina - '...suddenly appears, saving/ruining/annoying the..... another sticky situation....ice cream....yawn'. Now onto the skateboard crisis....... not in my dungeon! All walls have clear signs indicating no skateboards or rollerskating on [COLOR=Navy]mall [/COLOR] dungeon property. I'm also planning on installing some speed bumps... [COLOR=Red]B:]B[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
