Message: <blockquote data-quote="jeffh" data-source="post: 5207097" data-attributes="member: 2642">How is Wayfarer's Step supposed to work in 3.5? From the description, it seems like a simple spell for teleporting yourself short distances, but the stat block is very much at odds with that, and also seems internally contradictory. (I am using page 15 of the 3.5 Player's Guide as my sole reference here, if there's somewhere else I should be looking please let me know.)I see three issues, in order from most to least serious:1. The description only mentions teleporting yourself, but it has a range of Touch and nonempty save and SR stats, which makes sense only if you can use it on others. (The target is listed as "Personal", which doesn't make sense at all; but a range of Personal and a target of You is a common pairing which would better match the description. This is the "internally contradictory" bit.)2. The duration is listed as "One minute", but the spell doesn't seem to do anything that it makes sense to give a duration other than Instantaneous.3. Finally, it has an unusually long casting time for a teleportation spell; that may be a deliberate balancing factor given its low level, but it feels wrong to me; there are a lot of unwritten rules about how given types of spells work and this seems to violate one of them.Is there something I don't understand here that makes this stat block make sense, or is this simply an incorrect stat block which should be rewritten to be in line with (my first impression of) the description?</blockquote>
