[QUOTE="Inanity, post: 7979712, member: 7023541"] I ran a setting where planets and stars were assumed to populate the prime material plane. I thought it was odd that spellcasters could theoretically point to a distance star and teleport there (I was using 3.5e ruleset). Yes it would be dangerous (find yourself in dead space or in a star etc.) but possible and I didnt really like that. So, I came up with the idea that (at leat in the material plane) magic is more dense (or more prevalent) the more mass there was in a region (so less mass less magic to the point that the 'vacuum' of space (mostly inhabitted only by photons) would be a null magic field (I then gave some other cosmology to explain other planar magic etc; didnt think about just still now how certain light magic would be effected if at all.); this gave me a reason to say that dead space equals a null magic zone... and goodluck teleporting INTO a sun itself (the only thing you could really see from the planet your on). Yes high level spellcsters have just teleported into oblivion (mostly never to return) but in general you simply CANT teleport into space (since your TARGET DESTINATION would be a null magic field; or else a star and that would lead to near instant death to all but the most powerful)..
