If there's no cooldown and no cost on teleport, maximum distance doesn't really make a difference
It does if trying to go through an 8” thick wall.
Or across an 8" ocean.
Or 8" of gravel.
Better not have gotten that gravel for free else no teleport.
Don't need magic powers to get free gravel, just need a little tongue work 😉
We all have free gravel.
And that is why we don't get any other ability.
Oh yeah, you need to transport it yourself though.
You will find it on roadsides, clogged-up open drains, hilly areas, riverbeds etc.
I worked this out. If you teleport up and slightly forwards each time and can do it more than 10 times per second, you can hover and move forward at nearly an inch per second.
No you just immerse in the wall for a femtosecond.
That may have a very adversarial effect on health
Only if you think of the wall as an adversary and not an ally.
Even with a cooldown or something like that, a real world 'blink' ability, even of just 7 inches, would be utterly devastating in hand to hand combat, as well as potentially in ranged/armed combat as well.
Just imagine scenes from John Wick but also, every 30 minutes, he can just 'blink' up to 7 inches to dodge or connect a punch, kick, grab, close range shot, move just a bit further into cover, closer to a magazine needed to reload, etc.
Granted, you would also have to be very careful to not uh, Philadelphia Experiment / phase shift into a fucking wall or some other person or something.
A 7 inch 'blink' takes Keanu Reeves a step from John Wick... toward Neo, this would be completely 'broken' in the hands of a skilled and trained fighter, even if they can only use it once a day, as a kind of 'ultimate' or w/e.
Like uh, try hand to hand fighting someone in Cyberpunk 77, with yourself set up as close to a plain jane human as possible... up against a melee fighter with sandevistan.
Forget combat, how many times have you nearly missed slipping and falling while climbing stairs because of imperfect foot placement?
Well, for when you actually and up being in a bad enough position to slip, you get to save yourself, positioned perfectly for the next stride.
Thats honestly a very good thing to point out as well!
Stairs, or hiking/walking on any kind of broken terrain... fucking snow, ice...
Yep, there's a whole ton of more situations where a blink ability could be very practically useful.
How many times have you been about to eat shit, and thought "If only I could fall an additional 7" and really just fuck my day up"
If abusable the look 10 hours younger one could be sick to go along with this.
What if you can only teleport with a pill? What happens when you ingest a whole handful? Are you teleposing in different directions simultaneously?
Yes but they all cancel each other out leaving you unmoving.
My thoughts exactly. Flying unlocked
