[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6311277, member: 22779"] Oh, no, not trivial. And, again, I agree that in defensive roles, the teleport power would be very handy. Although, Stalingrad is a bit erm... anachronistic. But the point is certainly there. I guess, my point was being able to cross a room every five minutes isn't going to really rock anyone's socks too much. The LOS limitation is very important. You couldn't teleport from the ground through a window in the second story, for example, because you would be very unlikely to have LOS. Just like not really being able to teleport to a balcony from the ground, again, because of no LOS. Heck, heavy rain would negate the power. Or fog. Or night, since Eladrin don't see in the dark in 4e. I mean, sure, there might be some situations where it would come up, but, considering the OP quote that I posted, I really don't think it's going to have anywhere near the impact that was claimed. Certainly far less impact than a lot of things. Although, just to look at NeonC's point about wizards, I'm not sure if we can really point to that. Being a wizard, or any PC class is not guaranteed in 4e like it was in earlier editions. PC classes aren't meant to be "common" for everyone. It's more like Savage World's Wild Cards - it's for the players, not for the general world. But, to be fair, eladrin teleport would apply to all Eladrin, regardless of anything else. So, units of battlefield wizards would be no more common that any other classed units. 4e doesn't really work that way. It's not meant to be applied to the general world. Human soldiers aren't classed fighters or warriors. 4e doesn't really model events that occur in the general world away from the PC's. [/QUOTE]
