[QUOTE="James Gasik, post: 8591272, member: 6877472"] Well we'd like to think they didn't bury any immunity. But as we've seen just with defining teleport itself, let alone "instantaneous", the rules sometimes expect you to just figure out how game elements function. Either way, having squinted and looked at the rules a certain way, I can't argue with the ruling (or perhaps, "confirmation of how Thunder Step works as written" is a better way to say it). Why anyone would bother is where I'm confused. It's just not that good of a spell! You want to teleport out of trouble? Better spell exists. You want to blast things in an area? Better spell exists? You want to teleport 15 to 30' (no less) and blast things in an area, hoping you've been surrounded by enough enemies to be worth it, while also being more than 10' away from any allies? I guess, but how often does that actually come up? I think when I finally can get back to gaming, I'm going to have to examine encounters and see if I can pick out times when I'd be happy to Thunder Step to see if I'm right or wrong on this. [/QUOTE]
