[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 6314632, member: 82106"] Yeah, but my point is it is a DM's choice as to how 'disruptive' it has to be. A DM could choose to be relatively strict and Fey Step would have a pretty limited impact on things. He could rule that only extraordinary eladrin even possess that power. He could rule that it doesn't even work when you are in the Feywild (though canon would seem to disagree the fluff certainly would be most consistent with that and its the DM's world, no RULE says things always work the same in every plane of existence).
