Reverse Portal

You open a portal not from here to there, but from there to here.

Level: 12

Component Cost: 500 gp

Category: Travel

Market Price: 2,600 gp

Time: 10 minutes

Key Skill: Arcana

Duration: Special

 

You create a shortcut across the fabric of the world, linking your location with a permanent teleportation circle elsewhere on the same plane (see the Linked Portal ritual, Player’s Handbook, page 307). As part of performing this ritual, you sketch out a 10-foot-diameter circle in rare chalks and inks. Alternatively, you can use a permanent teleportation circle, which reduces the component cost to 150 gp and grants you a +5 bonus to your Arcana check.

At the ritual’s completion, make an Arcana check. The result determines the duration that the portal remains open.

The portal displays views of the other location in the same way as that created by the Linked Portal ritual, but creatures cannot enter the origin point and appear at the other location. Instead, creatures can only step into the distant end of the portal to appear at the origin point with you.

Snare

A barely visible circle appears on the ground, ready to entrap any enemies that enter the area.

Level: 4

Component Cost: 25 gp

Category: Warding

Market Price: 150 gp

Time: 10 minutes

Key Skill: Nature

Duration: 8 hours or until discharged

You create a magical snare in a 2-square-by-2-square area adjacent to you. When you complete the ritual, make a Nature check. The check result is the Perception DC to detect the snare and the Thievery DC to disable it. As part of the ritual, you can name creatures that can pass freely through the snare’s area, and you can set conditions that allow a creature to bypass the snare. Any other creature that enters the snare’s area is subject to an attack equal to your level + 4 vs. Reflex. On a hit, the target is immobilized (save ends). When the snare is triggered, you become aware that it has been triggered regardless of your distance from it. The ritual is also discharged.
