Dimension Door

Gamer asks about casting 'dimention door':

Will we be able to cast Dimension Door to other towns and others can step through the Doorway and arrive there instantly.
Or places that weve been to before so we can cast Dimension and arrive at that particular place...

    Setting up a portal would be pretty easy for a DM to do, when creating his world. He'd just have to lay down the two transition points, and then add in a doorway or permanent spell animation to make it look usable. With this method, a player could easily go from-and-to any map within the module, even if that happens to be from city-to-city.

    Likewise, the DM can create an item (I'm pretty sure about this, but I could be wrong ;) ... ) that would act as the first transition point. The player would simply use that item (a scroll, for example, as in Diablo) to instantly beam to a point pre-defined by the DM. And, one step further, the DM could create the teleport runes you guys mentioned, so that the player could place one item in one location, and use a matching item to instantly bring him to the placed item. Just hope that no one else grabs hold of that first rune! ;)

    And the crazy thing is that non-programmers like me could pull that stuff off with about 5 minutes of free time.
