Psionic D. Door

[wildstarsreach]

If you are high enough to manifest the 4 PP augment to use as a move action, does this negate the rule that using D. Door ends your turn. I say yes but my DM has ruled against this.

It's a 6 PP augment, isn't it? And no, it would not. The power description says: "As dimension door (page 221 of the Player's Handbook), except as noted here."

Turning to page 221 of the Player's Handbook, we see: "After using this spell, you can’t take any other actions until your next turn." Nothing in the psionic dimension door entry changes that, so it applies.

Changing the type of action required to manifest the power from a standard to a move doesn't relieve you from the "can't take any other actions" clause, just as using Quicken Spell to cast DD as a free action wouldn't do so.

I think he´s right. The augmentation doesn't mention at all that it negates the "you can't take more action" clause, and it doesn't make the augmentation unusable since you can take your standard, free and swift actions before your move actions.

Having played in a campaign where Psi Dim Door was ruled as wildstarsreach suggests, it was a little too powerful. Not crazy, off-the-hook powerful, but that was partly because the player was a newbie. I'd highly recommend against it.

I say yes but my DM has ruled against this.

I suspect that you are the player of a psion.

PS. Your DM is correct as others have already stated. The 10 PP Dimension Door is still good. As a Move Action, it allows a psion to manifest a swift (or immediate) action power, manifest a standard action power, and still manifest a move action Dimension Door, all in the same round since Psionics are not limited to once per round (tmk)like spells (shy of swift or immediate spells).

Just research the same power, but without the 2nd edition flaw
make it medium range or something, the no action thing is stupid. The only other spell that does that is celerity, and that's only because you're borrowing time from the future to go now.
