[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8432867, member: 6704184"] No, it’s not. This isn’t 3.5 or 4e. The rules are not written in the same way. Your excessively legalistic readings of RAW are in no way superior or more valid than any other way of reading the rules. The rules allow the player to determine thier character’s facing. There is nothing guiding how momentum works when teleporting but old editions and your own sense of what feels right. What direction you come out of Misty Step is not specified. The closest we have to RAW is to apply the rules for facing, which is simply that your character is facing whatever direction you say they are. And again, what is [I]actually[/I] the RAW is that the DM decides anything that isn’t specified in the rules-text. The DM ruling on something that is unspecified is not a houserule, it’s entirely within the rules as written. Falling rules are separate from how Misty Step interacts with facing. Obviously. Whether you can use a bonus action while falling is completely irrelevant to whether you can choose the facing of your teleportation on the exit. They’re two separate issues. [/QUOTE]
