[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 1676060, member: 478"] Even, if you have seen a place only once, the chances to end up there are high enough, and even if not, you can just teleport again. As Dark Dragon said, there simply is no real risk involved in 3E. Sure as a DM I can always add whatever arbitrary risk to teleporting to make it more difficult, but is that really the better way, to give the players a false feeling of power, but in fact only allowing them to teleport when it suits me and basically turning [i]their[/i] Teleport spell into [i]my[/i] plot device? I feel, that would be very wrong, but isn't that what it comes to then? I'd rather keep stuff like the FR portals in and use those instead. Actually having only portals, but no Teleport could be kinda cool, since the locations of the portals (the magic to create them being long forgotten or only available to very, very few individuals) would be fairly important then. Another, but much more reasonably controllable, way to enter long distance shortcuts. Bye Thanee [/QUOTE]
