That's a good one. I'm very happy with it. There are a lot of tricks that Alex can pull with that one.
Now on another subject, Dimensional travel. Since the last time we talked about it I continued to think about what you said and the advanced arguments. I think I've found the right limitations for the power to work into the story. Please let me know what you think, I'm still willing to change it if you find a glaring flaw.

Dimensional Travel: Once per month, you can teleport into the original dimension of one of your creatures. You appear close to a member of the same species as the chosen creature. You can also teleport back to your original dimension with the same once-per-month limit.
Quest-specific rules
--Each time you use Dimensional Travel all creatures that you currently have summoned are automatically dismissed, even if they were under the effect of powers such as Anchored Summoning, Maintain Summoning, or Relay Summoning, and even if you are in direct contact with those creatures (such as clothes, tattoo, possession, etc...)
The only exceptions are as follows: Any sort of permanent Companions, Creature summoned with the Independent Agent power, and Creatures summoned by means other than the Celestial Menagerie (Summoning Contract, Servant Ritual, and so on.)
Your links, if any, with any creatures that remained behind, such as Share Senses, Telepathic Communication, Know Location, and similar effects, are reduced to the point that you can only tell if the creature is alive or not. In the same way, you cannot affect those creatures with any powers be it a boost, a teleportation effect, apply a Modifiers, or others.
--You cannot take anyone with you in your dimensional travel with the exception of those that benefit from your Grant Summoning power if they are touching your bare skin when you activate the power.
--You can elect to return to the Dimension you came from before the normal duration of one month elapses. In that case, you cannot use Dimensional Travel again for the remainder of the month plus one additional month.
To sum things up. The new rules amount to: You arrived there naked (without your partners), you can only leave behind permanent partners, you can only take people if you gave them a partner, and you can go back earlier than planned but it does not reset the duration before you can travel again.
Let me know what you think.
