User talk:Myrkraverk/Astral Barrier

Blocked on the Astral
The Astral isn't coterminous or coexistent. Where does the Astral Barrier's astral version go? I guess you could have meant Ethereal.

The Astral's non-coexistent nature is actually very awkward for this. Teleportation doesn't go through things at all; rather, it is a quick hop into the astral plane and then back, so even an airtight box that could not be teleported through could still be entered. --Foxwarrior 02:34, 24 July 2012 (UTC)


 * So actually what you need is not a material, but a variant rule for Teleportation which says that teleportation is instantaneous travel along the shortest path, ignoring all obstacles other than _____. --Foxwarrior 03:04, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Um....doesn't "Dimensional Lock" and spells of that nature already cover this? --71.82.214.138 03:52, 24 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Think for a moment like a person inside the D&D world. People will want permanent protections for their homes.


 * Astral Barrier (the name of the spell is not important) is permanent. It prevents teleportation and creates a barrier along the building in the Ethereal and Shadow planes.  It cannot be dispelled - at least not outside the building.


 * It is not a high level spell. A traveling priest, cleric, wizard, etc. are able to perform this ritual/spell for every home in even the poorest village.


 * In contrast to dimensional lock the house needs to be constructed in a special way to hold this spell. It cannot be applied after the fact.  --Myrkraverk 10:55, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Right, so...what's the advantage over just knowing Dimensional Lock? Because it'd be a lot cheaper. --71.82.214.138 18:20, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The permanent part. It's a defense for the regular people of the world.  --Myrkraverk 23:48, 24 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Is this a ward over a whole area or more like a wall. That is, after crossing the barrier on foot can you teleport while inside (but can't teleport out of the presumed bubble shape).  Either way, I like this. -- Eiji-kun 03:36, 27 July 2012 (UTC)


 * I had originally thought of teleport to work inside buildings. But not through the (outer) walls.  Now I wonder if that world limit can be explained somehow.  --Myrkraverk 03:58, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
