Swift Action Teleport?

[interwyrm]

Is there a swift action teleport spell?
What's it called?
Where is it?

quickened Teleport

There might be a swift Dimension Door variant in PHB II... not sure.

Quickened Teleport? Or Quickened Dimension Door.

I guess it is hard to make a Swift Action Teleport otherwise, as Teleport doesn't have so many parameters to reduce its strength. Most spells move form 1 minute / level to 1 single round duration, but Teleport has no Duration.

I guess a Close Range (25 ft + 5 ft per 2 levels) Swift Dimension Door might be balanced as a 6th level spell.

There's something in Complete Mage. I believe it is a level 8 spell, but it's cast as a swift action, and lets you teleport as a swift action for the spells duration. (With a quite limited range.)

Isn't there something called dimension hop?

 

[starwed]

I think there exist both dimension hop and dimension slide as low level teleportation spells. (2nd and 3rd level, maybe?) Both are much easier to quicken than even D-Door.

There's also the variant specialist class feature that gives you a very short range teleport as an immediate action.

Teleport doesn't have so many parameters to reduce its strength.

Besides range, you can require LoS to the destination, and give a somatic/material component. (So that it's not useful in grappling situations.)

There is a Shadow Hand maneuver from ToB called Shadow Blink, it is a swift action dimension door of up to 50 feet.

The Spell Compendium has knight's move, which is a low-level, swift-action, limited teleportation spell.

Isn't there something called dimension hop?

Those are psionic powers, but I see no reason why you couldn't make equivalent spells of the same level.

Dimension Hop is a 2nd-level close range dimdoor type spell from PHB II.

There's also Lutzaen's Frequent Jaunt in MoF (and probably a variant in SC), which is 5th level and allows to make a close range dimdoor jump 1/round as a move action for 1 round/level. Not quite swift, though.
