[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8952842, member: 6801228"] Yes, exactly. Which was actually brought up as a problem with the spell when this discussion started I have no idea what you mean by killing overland travel. I guess you are trying to say that you rolled percentile for how close to the place you name on the plane shift is, and you ended up 100 miles from your location? Which... cool? Plane Shift is still not a spell that was designed to speed up travel on the material plane, and you still likely could have decided to use any number of spells, abilities or narrative conceits to travel that distance instead of using Plane Shift. You example does not highlight why we need the spell, your example highlights that you found a non-standard use for the spell that allows it to act like other spells. The spell works fine the way it is and I don't really want to make it even easier to laugh in the face of travel. I mean, even with the version that exists, if you want to assume longbows, you have 36 seconds to spot, draw and fire upon the horse between the time it enters range to when it leaves range, assuming it runs right past you. Less time if it is taking a chord path instead of a diameter path. [/QUOTE]
