Abrupt Jaunt alt. wizard class feature, PHBII pg. 70

here's a thought.

You give up your move action on your next turn.

 

[Primitive Screwhead]

Personally I would rule the following into the Jaunt mechanics:

50% miss chance when taken to avoid a melee attack, ranged attackers may retarget.

The movement taken counts towards total movement taken during your next action {ie, no Jaunt + 5' step}

You cannot cross any barrior that would stop normal movement {but you can 'jump' across narrow chasms and such}

Of course, I have a PC made on this sort of mechanic, altho from before PHB2 was released. Nice to see WoTC stealing my ideas!

My re-work would be:

Abrupt Jaunt -- You may use this effect as a reaction to a single attack or effect. You momentarily transport yourself to the Astral plane. The attack or effect suffers a 50% miss chance against you.

Another way to tune it down is to make it a swift action like in my campaign.

I'm gonna rule personally, Swift instead of free, and you give up your next move action. Just my 2 cents. I dont think you should get the 50% miss if you give up your next move.

It was never Free -- it was always Immediate.
