Proof 4e is broken

[Asmor]

If you didn't think that 4e is broken, here's proof. Absolutely any character-- even a newborn who's too young to crawl-- can move faster than the speed of light.

All it takes is 1,180,285,267 clerics or paladins arranged in a straight line who all have the feat Avandra's Rescue. Have them all delay so they take their turns in order, starting with the one closest to the newborn. Each of them then uses Avandra's Rescue to switch places with the newborn.

End result: It's just moved almost 1.2 billion squares over the course of 6 seconds. Assuming I've done the math right, it's moved faster than the speed of light.

Why does WotC hate relativity?

Relativity is borked. Deal.

Dammit, I'd heard they'd nerfed fast travel, but this is ridiculous. I was prepared for teleportation to require a ritual, or an expensive material component, but where the heck am I supposed to find 1,180,285,267 clerics or paladins on short notice?

 

[AntiStateQuixote]

My hat of relatives no limit!

 

[Bretbo]

Never work because you could never keep that many Clerics or Paladins in one place long enough, they're shifty...no wait, I'm thinking of Kolbolds. Carry on.

 

[Andor]

Nah, it's only broken if all 1,180,285,267 clerics or paladins are related to the kid.

Or wait, if it breaks relativity does that mean the by the end of the teleport the kid is no longer related to them? Have I found a way out of my Paladin's paternity suit?

*Double post is proof of brokenness*

This seems a bit more difficult than just using Readied action passes.

This reminds me of the old contests my friends and I had (back in the day) to see who could most masterfully exploit the old AD&D 2e psionics rules. IIRC, the guy who could deliver 200+ attacks in one combat round took the cake.

Uh... you do realized they already tried that back during the 1980s and it ended with the baby being flung out into the pacific ocean where it was devowered by a great white shark.
