Even if the noble only had teleport, it would have sufficient range and capacity to teleport the slaves and the greater aboleth. Granting the noble greater teleport eliminates the range limit and chance of showing up off target.Finally, probability travel/astral caravan gives the added ability to go to different planes and prime materials (I believe within the same crystal sphere, but I am not sure). This seems to be more of a function needed for a ruler or grand aboleth looking for a new world to rule.The nice aspect of astral passenger and astral caravan, is that as psi-like abilities, they stack nicely and you do not have to remove PLAs from more powerful aboleths. If we go this way, I would be thinking along the line of:Greater - astral passenger (at-will)Noble - astral passenger (at-will), astral caravan (1/day since it takes approx. two weeks to make it to destination)If we were to go the teleport route, I would say:Greater - teleport (3/day)Noble - greater teleport (3/day), astral passenger (at-will)Ruler - greater teleport (3/day), astral passenger (at-will), astral caravan (1/day)You could also just leave the greater alone, as the noble has the mojo to do it all. Thus it could likely be a service that the greater would owe something to the noble for service rendered.Of course, for something that lives thousands of years, what are a few weeks? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Bykov.</blockquote>
