Anyway, the challenge was to make you think about somthing I realised with out me having to say it. I don't think anyone realized it. I got lots of "the planet is moving so there" and "a house is a place and a thing" however only one person had a good answer and I have to give a props to whoever said a landmark. That is a good example. You can use that in a sentence as a place AND a thing.
The point I was trying to make was that obviously we can all twist our English to make the rule say whatever we want it to say. We need the writer to tell us what he ment when he wrote it so we can know for sure what he implied. However, no matter what, KS will say "play how you want to play and have fun."
One of my players skimmed this arguement and he said somthing that struck me. He said "what about Star Trek. They teleport." Now I don't know anything about star trek, but I belive they can stop teleporting with some kind of shield. So, while Star Trek would have vechicle teleportation, it also has shield.
The point is that if magic could teleport things into robots, couldn't they have some sort of counter measure? Has anyone ever read anything that would protect a technological thing from teleportaion, other then the BOM p.21? There are plenty of spells that stop magic, and there are a bunch of tech answers for the super natural. If this is posible, one of the books needs some sort of teleport sheilds. If we can't find that, I think that would lead evidence to teleport being magical transferance of matter, and therefore blocked by robots and the like.
Happy hunting. I'm just going to try to add new ideas when ever I can post, unfortunatly I won't be able to get into it with anyone.
You missed the part that forcefields "shields" do block teleportation so if CS would get off their duff maybe they could get ahold of an Ultimax or whatever the one with the shield is and develop that instead of having to make up a rule...how many years after Rifts Creation?
