Allow apportation to open and close doors

[Piginabag]

Give apportation the ability to open/close doors at a distance. This would give warpers some more utility and give apport an interesting use outside of grabbing runes and ammo. This would also turn apportation into even more of a value point than it is already, so limit door manipulation based on skill in translocations so it doesn't have the same issues as summon skeleton (too much power for a level 1 ability).

It makes sense "conceptually", as it's basically "telekinesis", but according to one of the times I brought it up, it was explained that giving this ability to Apportation would make it one of the most powerful spells in the entire game.

Mmmm... maybe there could be a mid-level player spell like Vault Warden's that locks all doors in the level? Extremely handy and hazardous at the same time. Too situational maybe though

Give it a failure rate exclusive to doors if you're under x tloc skill.

However, apparently this discussion has been brought up so many times that I would self banish myself to CYC if I could.

4/5 of those are one poster, so I have a hypothesis...

FR let apportation apport floors, shops and walls while you're at it

Yeah, let us pick up and throw floor tiles like in zelda!

If you take the door on your left, you will find the domain of Portho and Dorlok, riven by internecine conflict. If you take the door on your right, you will find yourself in the many-knobbed tomb of Doorokhloe. Choose wisely, adventurer!

[Siegurt]

I think shop apporting should be dependant on spellpower and the total weight of the items in the shop.

[duvessa]

You feel that some door got lost in the cosmic void.

[celem]

You cast with too much spellpower, you gonna get a door in the face.

It is kinda OP though. The ability to check rooms from a distance removes a lot of threat, as does the ability to slam them on rooms full of things that cant open it again. Haste, open, close. All from the edge of LoS.

My wife likes this idea

[Roderic]

What if this ability of opening/closing doors at distance were available for the new proposed god Wulndraste?

Provided that you can't retreat to a previous level, at least you can gain some knowledge of what is in the current level from a safe distance.
