I figure somebody's going to start doing this stuff sooner or later, so I might as well pipe in now with the first thing I've come up with.
Really, I think it's fairly solid, though I'm not at all sure that the component and market costs should remain as small as they are.
Limitless Portal
Level: 38
Category: Travel
Time: 10 minutes
Duration: Special
Component Cost: 100,000 gp (see text)
Market Price: 1,000,000 gp
Key Skill: Arcana
This ritual works the same as True Portal, except as noted here.
Your description of your intended location is not limited to place names or other static references; for example, you can say "wherever Princess Katria is" or "the nearest pile of gold." The magic of the ritual interprets your intended destination in the most straightforward way possible.
If the destination is blocked by a warding ritual, such as Forbiddance, Limitless Portal still opens the destination portal at the intended destination if your Arcana roll beats the Will defense of the ward's creator. Otherwise, the ritual opens the destination portal at a point along the ward's boundary; you can see through the portal before you enter, and you don't have to step through if you don't want to.
You can use a teleportation circle as the origin point of this ritual, making minor temporary modifications as part of the ritual. Using a teleportation circle reduces the ritual's component cost to 1,000 gp and grants a +5 bonus to your Arcana check. If using a teleportation circle, you may spend a healing surge as part of the ritual casting to eliminate the ritual's component cost entirely.
