Lastly, Thunder step is a *great* way to leave a fight momentarily - you (and an ally you grab) teleport up to 90 feet, leaving behind a 3d10 dmg explosion.   However it won't work so great if an ally is hit by said thunderous explosion!  So we'll have to coordinate to do it just right.  (If Kalorn says someone should withdraw...)Of and if Kalorn Suggests that a Foe should go have a bath, don't attack the foe as it leaves <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />  Does anyone else have special tricks that work better with the rest of the party being involved/aware?  Mord's kinda broke though <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
