[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 5166290, member: 71571"] First off, might I say, thank you very much for quoting the pertinent game element. This saves a lot of time for those answering questions like this, and it is very much appreciated. You'll be more likely to get pertinent and effective answers this way, it is a good habit to follow. Secondly, this is an interpretation of what I think the spirit of the rules are, which is the best you can get. Rituals aren't as codified rigorously as powers are, they've got more room for interpretation. (this is by design) However, this is what I would do for an RPGA event. The question at hand, is whether the item is a door, window, gate, portcullis, or other means of ingress. Well, ingress can refer to the moment before the total eclipse while the celestial body is dissappearing, but that I doubt is the sense of this. More importantly, it refers to 'entrance', 'entry', 'means of entering.' The context, is a means by which one could enter another thing. I would interpret that to imply not things that one could simply place part of oneself in, but these entries must have some way of reasonably admitting your typical character, halfling or gnome sized. Pet doors for a small cat would also count, because they are doors, which is already defined as acceptable. It would have to be a very large bag, satchel, backpack, or jar, one that could reasonably carry a person inside. Most adventurer's gear would certainly not qualify. However, the door to your tent WOULD qualify, as that is... well... a door! In Before 'The Door Is A Jar' jokes. [/QUOTE]
