Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lord Ernie" data-source="post: 5063732" data-attributes="member: 58517">Eh. I don't see the issue with dangerous terrain or vertical teleports, honestly. If I put dangerous terrain (clifffaces, pits, lava, whatever) into my encounter, it's because it's supposed to be there. If anything, I cheer the idea of teleporting/shoving people into it.Teleporting vertically could be nasty with the right build, I guess, but most of the time you're giving up an element of control (teleport) to have a 45% chance to do extra damage and knock them prone. Unless I'm missing some powers which generate Harrowstorm-like distances, I don't think it's that big a deal (and before someone points out saving throw penalties: that's a whole issue onto itself).EDIT: A quick compendium search gives me these results for "teleport the target" that are not restricted (and thus allow vertical teleports):Dimensional Vortex, Swordmage, Level 3 Encounter. 5 squares.Be Gone, Swordmage, Level 9 Daily. 5 squares.Wormhole Plunge, Ardent, Level 1 Daily. Wisdom mod squares.HammerFall Step, Arcane Wayfarer, Level 11 Encounter. 3 squares.Forcing the Portal, Blade of Cendriane, Level 11 Encounter. 2 squares.Will of the Feywild, Feytouched, Level 11 Encounter. 5 squares.Argent Arrow, High Forest Scout, Level 11 Encounter. 1 square.Probability Travel, Storvakal, Level 11 Encounter, 1+wis mod.Sequestering Word, Avenger, Level 13 Encounter, 5 squares.Astral Fury, Avenger, Level 17 Encounter, 3 squares.Sprite Dance, Seeker, Level 17 Encounter, 5 squares.Planar Shock, Swordmage, Level 19 Encounter, 10 squares.Celestial Seal, Celestial Scholar, Level 20 Daily. 3 squares.Excoriating Challenge, Avenger, Level 23 Encounter, 5 squares.Fetters of Darkness, Invoker, Level 23 Encounter, 5/10 squares.Wildrift Burst, Sorcerer, Level 23 Encounter, Dex Mod + 1d4 squares.Shuffling Thunder, Sorcerer, Level 23 Encounter, up to 10 squares (d10 if Wild mage)Western Wind of Storms, Shaman, Level 25 Daily, 10 squares.Shifting Wave, Spellscarred, Level 27 encounter, 4 squares.Enthropic Whirlwind, Sorcerer, Level 29 Daily, Dex mod squares, and up to 5 squares UEOE.Prismatic Wall, Wizard, Level 29 Daily, 5 squares.While a few of those are problematic, it seems tough to really make a 'teleport' build to abuse this.</blockquote>
