[QUOTE="Ashrym, post: 7858934, member: 6750235"] That 7th level slot usually went to something a lot more useful like force cage or reverse gravity, lol. Teleport gets brought up a lot but it's a mediocre spell. The party usually needs to move within range for the escape idea and that gets interrupted by enemy turns. The chase scene might get cut short but the idea of a chase scene is giving the opportunity to escape. I can escape pretty easily without teleport on many characters at much lower levels and it's one of those things where the Villain taking a hostage to force the heroes to come out becomes a typical hero moment. It's not hard for villains at that level to track the party and teleport after them too. ;) Going home after the main event is a minor detail. That's why the eagles flew Sam and Frodo home. It's basically wasting a 7th level slot for travel my montage instead of just travelling by montage. It looks cool and all, but it's rather meaningless. [/QUOTE]
