[QUOTE="Steampunkette, post: 8429434, member: 6796468"] Teleportation deals with instantaneous transmission between two points without crossing the intervening distance. Relative elevation due to the curvature of an object is therefore irrelevant. And while magic -can- break the rules of physics, characters and objects still fall, the sun still rises, and barring an explicit statement to the contrary we have to assume that all the other standard rules of physics do exist normally. Teleportation, for example, -works-. Without magic this feat would be essentially impossible with a sapient being of human mass, if only due to the energy requirements and improbable matter requirements. However. A Fireball still burns. Whence it came is "Magic" but it still conforms to natural physical laws when it interacts with the rest of reality. Now, of course, a DM/GM/Narrator is free to say "Magic makes momentum go bye-bye in a teleport" and would be correct 'cause it's their world and they're defining how the magic and physics interact. But by the textbook understanding of how all this stuff is, RAW, yes. Momentum would be preserved. [/QUOTE]
