Message: <blockquote data-quote="paradox42" data-source="post: 5849356" data-attributes="member: 29746">I reached similar, though different, conclusions on what the range limits should be. Greater Teleport effectively has no range limit, for people who stick to their own worlds; this is obvious. What's less obvious is what the range limit should be, for those who go beyond one world. Consider the moon: should Greater Teleport be able to get you there and back? If not, why not? It's not like the moon is very far in cosmic terms, after all.My own world features time travel magic, based mainly around a spell at 8th level called Time Shift, that allows travel up to 1 day/level into the future or past. So I took that as a benchmark: figuring that time and space are equivalent, that would mean that an 8th-level Teleport spell should be able to get you 1 light-day per level of distance. It'd be reasonable to suggest that a 7th-level effect should be able to get you something like 1 light-second per level, so yes, Greater Teleport can take you to the moon- but not very far beyond it.Interplanetary Teleport I didn't assign a range limit to, figuring that a 9th-level spell should probably be able to cover an entire universe, but if you want to impose one- 1 light-year per level (or perhaps as high as 10 LY/level or even 100 LY/level) sounds good to me. That'd confine its use to a single galaxy pretty effectively, and force rather slow travel around that territory in fact, while still allowing truly immense vistas to open up.</blockquote>
