Teleport, Familiarity, and Campsites

[Lakesidefantasy]

For the purposes of teleportation, what level of familiarity would you consider your campsite in the wilderness to be? Very familiar, studied carefully, seen casually, or viewed once?

What if you just made camp, teleported back to town, then tried to teleport back to camp? What if you spent the night then tried to teleport to town and back in the morning?

“Studied carefully” is a place you know well, either because you can currently physically see it or you've been there often.

So unless this is a frequent campsite, it would be seen casually most likely.

I would probably allow an hour or so of careful examination to count as 'studied carefully.' This would have to be declared of course.

I would give it "studied carefully" in 30 mins minus the Int score. (Yes, it's a house rule!) But that's the best you can get.

Thanks for the replies.

And again a bit off in house rules territory but 'bonus points' for a group which arranges or notes something particular about the campsite >> a particular tree or rock formation, how they arrange the tents or lay out the rocks for the fire pit, or perhaps the wizard places a his Arcane Mark on something prominent in/around the campsite (i.e. something the wizard can visualize while casting that makes it relatively unique and different from other (possible random) campsites or locations.

I'd say a campsite would be "casual" unless you'd spent at least a day or so there
