[QUOTE="backbeat, post: 3647822, member: 39814"] The way to decide on this spell is to compare the options: Full round from Barbarian + BT from Wizard + waisted move by another character vs. Standard from Barbarian + magic missle from wizard + available move action by other char. In damage output (say level 11) the difference is two raging swings at -5 and -10 vs. 5d4 force damage. Magic missle averages out at 12.5 points of damage, assume the barbarian gets one hit in, he'd need a only 13 points of damage to make it a beneficial exchange. I think most Barbarians can do this even when armed with an anchovy, so BT is probably a bit overpowered at level 1. With this in mind, I'd probably house rule a single 2nd level "Transposition" spell like Baleful Transposition with the option to fail a save If you want to make the spell 3rd level, the alternative become a wizard casting fireball. I don't know many barbarians that can deal 35 damage as an average blow. [/QUOTE]
