    Default Looking for Errata

    Hi Everyone!

    I came across some unlogic statement concerning the Mountebanks ability Sideslip.
    Sideslip is a spell like ability, which mimics dimension door. You instantly teleport up to 20 ft in a single direction.

    At level 3 you get the ability to sideslip as an immediate action. With level 10 you the get the ability to sideslip as a swift action, but this costs you two of your sideslip attempts per day.

    In my eyes immediate action is way better than swift action (so I just switched the wording).

    Am I missing something?

    Cheers,
    Farlion

    Sudden escape does not have the same limitations as sideslip. And sideslip is supposed to make you "elusive" - sounds like an immediate action to me.

    Hmmm... what limitations does sideslip have, compared to sudden escape? (Which isn't so sudden, since it's only a swift action).

    Cheers,

    "Once per day as an immediate action, you can transfer yourself from your current space to another up to 20 feet away. This ability otherwise works like the dimension door spell, except that you cannot transport other creatures with you."

    For a start, Sudden Escape has a range of 800ft as compared to 20ft...
    I apologise if I come across daft. I'm a bit like that. I also like a good argument, so please don't take offence if I'm somewhat...forthright.

    Please be aware; when it comes to 5ed D&D, I own Core (1st printing) and SCAG only. All my opinions and rulings are based solely on those, unless otherwise stated. I reserve the right of ignorance of errata or any other source.

    Ok, thanks for pointing that out! Now it makes sense!
