Standing up while teleporting?

[Mathew_Freeman]

Why didn't I think of that?! I like it. I'll have to let my Warlock player know that that's acceptable. I keep trying to get them to do nifty things like that. It's what I love about 4th edition. So much is left up to the DM and players. You're not straight-jacketed by rules. I guess that's why my players say that 4th edition feels a lot like 1st edition to them.

For the record, that was my zing against the ridiculous post about how standing and teleporting made this edition not D&D.

Given that it's a move action to stand, and a move action to teleport, combining the two is very unlikely to break anything much.

I'd probably allow it - but only if they were going to use it to do something interesting (like, teleporting and standing up so that they can launch a ranged attack on someone else, for example).

I am not sure I get your reasoning here? How does combining not "break" things (at least a little bit)? I mean, why can I not just say "I move 4 squares" not also end the prone condition then? It makes Teleport more powerful. Which is not necessarily bad, but has to be kept in mind.

But this talks give me the idea of a new "Safe Teleport" power - a (daily?) teleport utility power that lets you teleport x squares and remove all ongoing conditions on you. Sounds... Warlocky. Maybe also something for a Swordmage (maybe a Swordmage would transfer all ongoing conditions from an ally to himself and switch places with him. Sounds cool to me...)

I was reading the PHB this weekend and it does mention that you can Teleport while prone or immobilised and says you'll appear in the same position.

I envision it like a Star Trek transporter...
