[QUOTE="OhGodtheRats, post: 5415203, member: 71815"] Ok, I'm going to feel stupid posting a rules question, mostly because in my checkered past of posting rules questions invariably I'm just missing something simple that was floating in my blind spot. That said, here's the question: Can I use Teleport to remove the Prone condition? I know the answer used to be a simple "NO" but looking at Essentials/Rules updates.... I'm playing an Acrobatic Hexblade who teleports like a fiend. If I'm Prone and I teleport 4 squares, is it totally legal to choose a destination square up in the air (Now an option with Essentials)....causing me to fall...causing me to make an easy Acrobatics check so I don't take damage and, as per acrobatics "Land on my Feet"? My DM & a few rule monsters are split on the issue with questions like "Does a Fall provoke attacks of opportunities if the Fall is intentional" to "Prone is a Condition removed by standing up" to "That is total cheatery get your X-men's Nightcrawler-type Tiefling back on the floor"...etc. Personally I feel hardcore rules junkies will already be aware of this gimmick & know a pretty good citation or general "This is why it does/doesn't work." Thanks for humoring me and I expect to be informed of what I missed very, very soon. -Jared [/QUOTE]
