[QUOTE="Malimar, post: 1934169, member: 26444"] [b]DD Passengers[/b] Sounds a bit too much of an adjustment to DD to me. The caster is spending his/her spell to deliver another party member to a critical position on the field. Sounds like a legitimate use of a spell. If the DD were to deliver multiple people to the doorstep of the bad guy, then they might have to spend at least a round positioning themselves around the DD'ing caster. If they were going to go through all that trouble, I'd let the PC's jump to that location. Keep in mind that DD is not exactly sneaky. Nothing says that it's a perfectly silent spell. It would probably be difficult to deliver a sneak attack after a DD. Plus the only ones able to attack immediately after the DD were those PC's who delayed or readied their actions until the DD was cast. Others would have to wait for their initiative to come, which might give the victim of this strategy an action anyway. If they start using this too often, there are counter strategies: - Diminsional Anchor the castor. - If bad guys see this tactics multiple times, they can ready a fireball/lightning bolt/etc. for when they appear, and the PC's will be nicely clumped. - A simiple minor image of the bad guy can force the PC's to DD to the wrong place... maybe right on top of a spiked pit trap. - Et cetera.... Just my $0.02. [/QUOTE]
