ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Enetered Trollmire lvl 4. The big nasty hits bad. I use teleport rune (range 15-xx).
Nothing happens, turn wasted. Not even a message pops.
Run, reapeat, drop dead.

What the heck is going on? Why didn't the rune teleport me?
I heard you cant use teleport runes inside vaults.
If so, a) how am i supposed to know that? (that it cant be used there)
b) how am i supposed to know i am inside vault (didn't look like a vault at all, i swear)

Trollmire lvl 4 is quite small. You may not have had enough space to fulfill the minimum transport range.

On occasion I have had teleport fail inside vaults (which I don't think trollmire 4 is). It is my least favourite design decision in this game.

Totally agree. Every time you are entering a vault you should be present with huge notice, saying something like:

Eyal is torn world..DarkGod hates you..Teleportation is prohibited in vaults.

Seriously, I am fine with such tricks, being used to make gameplay more challenging, although it'd be great to see an explanations for this somewhere in lore..

You can teleport out of vaults, you just can't teleport into them.

As you said, minimum range on teleport is 15.
This has nothing to do with vaults, there was just no valid location to port to.

It is also useful to know that torques of psychoportation don't have a minimum range.

Well how about just make it so that you're told there's no valid location and don't waste a turn?

Waste a turn or not, the massage would be very welcome.
And thx for explanation guys.
