Yeah, that's something similar to an idea I've been tossing around for a
while. In The Realms, there is a spell that summon's the caster's group,
from anywhere in the game, to their location. Personally, I think this
would be a great song for one of our still-unfilled slots. Because it's not
a FULL teleport spell/song (ie: your group members are brought to your
locale, but that's about it), it would definitely not overpower us as a
class while it could add all sorts of useful (possibly even fun) elements.
Imagine you're deep down in Paw (or one of the Sols, or Guks, etc), and
someone needs to get more food/drink, or a member leaves your party and a
friend just logged on and wants to join... just send any tp'r you may have
in the group, have them take care of said business, then call them back.
Too keep from gathering members that may be busy doing other things at the
moment, a lil box could pop up like when you get rez'd.
No imbalance of gameplay or classes, just something to make the gaming
experience a bit more fun. Afterall, isn't that the point of any game?
Lastly, it should have a little action message like whn the gms summon
you. "Barrd has been whisked away by chords of harmony." or something like
that ;o)
Just a though,
