Master Earth works how?

[Styrbjorn]

Tried Master Earth twice in Beregost. Had set a rune in Nashkel. Both times I got "You are thrown off course!" and ended up in the wheat field in Beregost.

The log says:
Roll and bonuses 5 vs Teleport DC 7.
Lost 850 gp.
Roll and bonuses 7 vs Teleport DC 8.
Lost 850 gp.

How is the DC calculated? And what bonuses apply?

You need to pass the check for it to work .

Think it's concentration . But I could be wrong .

It's basically Teleport, but for Druids. You'll want high CL, be outside of combat (blood magic counts) and max your CON. Don't try to overthink it, that system is crap. Just play your caster and you'll be succeeding in no time.

As Louvaine stated it works like Teleport. I would suggest Concentration gear vs Constitution bumping but most DCs are not too hard with investing no points at all into either. {I get by on scrolls with my Paladin just fine, a few fails here or there but most of it is successes.} But teleport does have a % chance to fail/throw off course even if you succeeded the rolls.

Ok, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I've read a few topics, not very much wiser, but ... Class Level, Concentration and Constitution. And natural areas. Which areas are natural areas? Every area except indoors? Excluding BG city areas? Can I find out by trying to cast a mark rune spell?

Don't go trying to find logic. It's supposed to be all forests, caves, shores, marshes, grasslands, etc. You're just going to have to test it. If you want some gold for your failing experiments, I can hook you up. Teleportation costs.
