Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pauper" data-source="post: 7058749" data-attributes="member: 17607">Hard to say -- prior to 4e, teleportation circles were rare, but portals (basically always-on teleportation circles that connect specific locations) were fairly common, at least once you reached a high enough level to be able to learn about them and identify their locations.I can't say if 5e ret-conned portals into teleportation circles; it would be in-flavor, but would also deprive non-spellcasters the ability to use the portals. Note that 4e explicitly de-activated many portals, thanks to the Breaking of the Weave, but with that explanation gone as part of the Sundering, it's not clear if the portals have returned, been changed into teleportation circles, or have undergone some other change.Ultimately, as noted elsewhere in the thread, I don't think the information will be all that useful in AL play. Also note, it is explicitly canon (based on FR novels, particularly those written by Greenwood himself) that <a href="http://forum.candlekeep.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=21439" target="_blank">sometimes portals/teleportation circles end up randomly malfunctioning</a>, and some things that go through a portal don't arrive at their intended location. As a DM, I'd make use of this information if a PC tries to exploit the teleportation circle spell to 'break' an adventure.--Pauper</blockquote>
