The Gatestone is a teleportation device that makes a nice Epic Level Spell. When a player uses the
Marked Gatestone for the first time, their current location is saved into the stone's memory. The next
time they use the stone, a portal is opened to the first place they used the stone. There is a sample
module included.
****************
* Features
****************
- Gatestones are persistent through resets without the need for a database. (Variables are set on
the items themselves).
- Each Gatestone can be set to a different location. (i.e. You can mark the ground somewhere,
then give the stone to another player who can activate the item later to open the gates)
- Includes a Use Magic Device Check and a Minimum Caster Level.
- If a player uses a portal to escape combat, all monsters who observe the player use the portal
will roll an Intelligence check. If they pass, they'll follow the player through the portal
(Mixes things up nicely)
- The portals can be dispelled, but if a player attacks the portal, it will defend itself.
Diavlen I have some questions and I tried to visit the forum in the Readme but it is no functional.
I was wondering if you could give me pointers on how to remove the Class and skill check so that any player could use it at any level. Just as a basic Item to allow fast travel.
Hoping you still check back here once in a while. I see your active still with some great work on this site.

I can't imagine playing in a PW without these stones. It makes travel so much easier and really brings a new element to a PW.

Thank you very much for this! I am going to be adding it to a teleportation network I'm creating.

Fantastic script! I can't imagine playing a PW without it.

I can't tell you how many times I've used these on Borgo. It's one of those custom things that has become a facet of our world. It has come in handy so many times at the end of a great adventure, when everyone is ready to get back to the Inn as quickly as possible. It has also served as a good way for a flighty escape from otherwise pending doom.
I really love how you've made it persistent! The funny thing is that sometimes I've been away so long that I forget which stone takes me where. -- At least it makes for a new adventure. Great script!

The teleportation persistancy is key in this. I love it
@drakkenkin - The marked gatestones will open a portal which will expire after a set time (two minutes I think). It's easily customizable
To give an update on this project, I've developed a much better item which I'm calling "Rune of Teleportation". It basically works by DND 3.5 rules, including weight limits. Instead of opening a portal, it is actually used to teleport the person directly.
While the gatestones are awesome, they should be very rare, especially if you have a crafting system, as it can cause a great imbalance in an economy (which is what led me to create the teleport runes). I'll post them soon. _________________________ Borgo Pass PW Link

Can you use the stone to T-Port back to where you left? I hope not. I like making it easyer for the PC to get to some locations. I don't care for the idea that they could Pop back and forth.

Fantastic item! Adds so much to the PW.

Thanks, and I'm glad you like it. If you find it useful, please give me a vote :) I'm hoping to add my version of Dimension Door soon. _________________________ Borgo Pass PW Link

yup it was wyrdwood , and the server is back online :)
the one you found was most likely broken
what u had to do was activate the gem , it store the location then u wud reactivate another stone and you wud be ported to the first location
If a server reset happened the stones become broken ( due to the lack fo databases when nwn was first released )
This system looks great i think i wil ladd it to my own PW world :)
On the day NWN came out, I started building (and have been ever since). This is the first magic item I added to our PW. It was inspired from another module I played in...called Wyrdwood I think? (can't remember now)
Anyway, I was a low level character and found this device that I couldn't use called a Marked Gatestone. I fiddled with it and activated it, tried to eat it...never could figure out what it did. So, to ease my frustrations, I built what I thought it should do LOL
Enjoy. _________________________ Borgo Pass PW Link
