What counts as abuse of the portals? I'm simply not following the wording here/am unfamiliar with the practice being described in this passage.Keep in mind, this was done in the past to prevent people cheesing portals by dragging corpses through portals, raise them, PC activates portal, dies, and was taken to the next portal, repeat. Yes, people go far in getting what they want.

Great update, but I'm not sure I understood this part:

Re: Clarification on Corpses and Portals
PC A has all portals
PC B being level 3 has none
PC A kills PC B, drags him through all portals and raises him next to every one of them, so he can activate them.
That's the abuse.

Re: Clarification on Corpses and Portals
To make the example specific:
Suppose Sam and Alex want to go to Red Dragon Island, but unfortunately, only Sam has the portal there.
Sam could get the wise idea to kill Alex, pick up Alex's corpse, and then take the portal to Red Dragon Island. Sam could then use a Raise Dead scroll on Alex, and hey presto they're both at RDI together. Alex could even then touch the portal and be able to go to RDI without the detour through the Fugue in the future.
Don't do this sort of thing.

This kind of things could be punished with MoD
Gods got angered how they are abused and limited lifetime of abuser.

That clarifies things significantly, thank you. (Originally, I didn't read "activated" as "attuned".)Dunshine wrote:PC A has all portals
