Teleportation and Blink Items Mini-Pack (Release 1)
This is a small set of very simple items that allow PCs to teleport short distances within an area. The blink items also mimic the D&D spell Blink to some extent, in that they provide a concealment bonus and an ethereal visual effect, but are not the same. These items are part of a much larger item package that I have recently updated (MMP v1.5, see link below) and is now up to over 750 items. The reason these are separate is because they are not going to be released as part of the MMP for quite some time (in v1.6), and as far as I know no one has released anything equivalent to this on the NWVault yet. I believe there are a number of scripts available that can provide inter-area teleportation or short range telporting, but again I haven't really seen anything like this.
I've included a quick Q&A at the bottom to address some of the more obvious questions, but feel free to shoot me an email or comment here if you'd like to discuss the pack with me.
Q. Why bother to release them if they're so easy to make?
A. Basically, it saves time.
Q. How do the blink items work?
A. They allow teleporting, and post-teleport you get 50% concealment and an etherealness VFX for 1 round/level. Similar in concept to the D&D Blink spell.
Q. What about the teleportation items?
A. Short range teleporting.
Q. Can you teleport to other areas?
A. No.
Q. What use are these in-game?
A. To get out of/circumvent area-of-effect spells or traps, to skip through a line of enemies to a vulnerable spellcaster at the rear or perhaps to get through an obstacle. I recommend sticking them on your hotbar, for ease of use.
Q. Aren't these a bit gamebreaking?
A. They have the potential to allow PCs to inadvertently avoid plot-critical triggers or encounters, so they should be used very cautiously. However, if players only use them during combat or to avoid traps, the potential for problems is fairly minimal.
Q. I take issue with these being posted on the NWVault, what can I do?
A. Feel free to email me and we can discuss it. See my profile to email me.
