[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 3376940, member: 63"] Dimension door lets you take others with you, and travel a great distance. You cast it as a standard action and your turn ends. Wayfarers step lets any one person travel the distance of one or two move actions. You cast it as a standard action, and spend a move action to use it. If you're 10th level (6th level character plus 4 levels of Wayfarer) you can cast it on yourself as a swift action and teleport as a free action. If you cast it on anyone else it still takes a standard action to cast. [Actually I think I'll change the wayfarer ability so that if you cast it on yourself, you can cast as a swift action and teleport as part of the same action. If you don't want to teleport that round, you have to use a swift action later.] Your proposed brokenness, where your rogue buddy moves up, sneak attacks, and retreats in one round is not viable.
