[QUOTE="Cryptos, post: 4329275, member: 58439"] I think that the possibilities of somehow using it as an attack are overcomplicating the core issue and causing us to "nerf ourselves", basically. Is it fun to allow someone to use their per encounter power to teleport out of a pit? Is it more fun to say "no" to the player and leave their character in a pit and out of the action indefinitely? I'd say that movement in three dimensions must be assumed, as there are plenty of powers granting flight and monsters with tactics that try to stay in flight during an encounter. Yet despite accounting for 3D movement in the game, they didn't call out teleport as being 2D by specifically stating "you can only teleport horizontally." So, I'd say, "yes" to the teleporting in three dimensions. To using it to attack someone, I'd say "yes, and", as in "Yes, you teleport above your opponent. Keeping in mind that the opponent doesn't necessarily occupy the whole square, and isn't necessarily standing still when its not his turn, you fall down next to him", disallowing it as an attack unless its used with a power, feat, or ability that specifically makes it an attack. The whole attack aspect of this is causing us to limit an ability that is otherwise fine as written. This should be simple. [/QUOTE]
