[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8580929, member: 7032025"] Nothing says it indeed. But then the DM is perfectly entitled to say that since you are strolling instead of moving, you will only move 5 feet. That has nothing to do with readied actions, just about the player describing what he is doing and the DM adjudicating the result of his description after translation in game terms. And instantaneous just means that it happens "in an instant", with no definition of what an instant means. Whereas every reading of genre books will tell you that heroes react in microseconds anyway. :p It's all in the fiction, and it works very well to describe fiction of the genre. Well, what I'm explaining is 100% in line with the RAW. So if you want to apply the RAW, you have two choices, either you assign mathematical values to everything and make computations and realise that it will not work anyway and reinvent many other rules to correct that (and it's fine, the game totally supports that as well), or you use it in the spirit of 5e, weave a story around it because these are heroes, and it actually sounds cool like in the comics/books/movies of the genre, where we all know that it's impossible, but they are cool so we like them anyway. And nothing prevents teleportation to works the same way, it's just that my instants are a bit longer than yours, and that I describe what is happening narratively rather than scientifically (since my view is that you can't play D&D totally scientifically anyway).
