It's surely a fair use of Teleport normally, but in some campaigns/settings this use just isn't such a good thing.@Talon5: That's one thing, I totally not agree with. A character who can teleport doesn't use it simply because the adventure isn't really prepared for this power at this moment? This "metagamish" approach isn't exactly what I prefer to do. If a character can teleport and it makes sense to do so, then the character uses this ability. Unfortunately, it's very often the best option.Teleport (as much as Resurrect) also isn't often really considered into campaign settings or adventures. In so many cases, this option is simply ignored and only used, when it isn't inconvenient. Often, the question, why these "simple" (in relation to the other options, I don't consider them cantrips or anything like that <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />) spells havn't been used, altho they would've totally foiled the complete plot, is completely unanswered. It's obvious why... but it isn't exactly great to simply ignore them, or is it?ByeThanee</blockquote>
