[QUOTE="Staffan, post: 1644106, member: 907"] Except the cost I calculated isn't really a discount - it's the standard cost for spellcasting. That's assuming you can find a caster - 9th level wizards should be available in large cities and metropoli in most settings, though they may be restricted to metropoli in Eberron (where high-level NPCs are supposed to be more rare than in regular D&D). 10 gp per mile is overcharging by a lot. This is strange, because in most cases the use of dragonmark abilities are supposed to cost the same as or less than the normal spellcasting fees (compare house Jorasco's fees for healing to the normal prices). The one reason I can think of for the pricing of teleportation is that they price it that high per mile to account for those who don't use the entire 900 miles - my calculations did assume that you were doing 900-mile 'ports, which might not be the most common case. 10 gp/mile costs 900 gp for 90 miles, which might be the average teleport length. Though in that case, it would be more fair to price it per teleport than per mile. [/QUOTE]
