Hey,
Using TOB Shadow Stance, which gives concealment if you move more than 10 ft and a psi-power from XPH, Dimension hop, allows you to instantly move 10 ft.

Does this count for my stance requirement to move 10 ft?

My DM thinks that it does not, I have moved 10 ft (via teleport) not taken a 10 ft move.
I think anything that moves me 10ft or more, will provide the stances benefit.

Also, can i move 10 ft left, 15 ft back to the right and then attack, with the stance benefit, (having moved 25ft) OR have I only moved 5 ft (My DM is referencing some requirement of scout or skirmisher to move from original position, i think this relates to another class's sneak attack ability, so has nothing to do with this specific situation)

Any details that may assist in resolving this dispute(s) would be appreciated.


Many thanks for any help

your location has changed... this is movement

How you moved and does it fit with the stance is questionable.


The answer is... there really are no percise rules on this.

Thanks for your insight...

This is about where we got too
while the dispute is more about if the stance combination works, the "Is dimension hop movement?" is an important part of the situation.

Unfortunately since i am not the DM not all votes were created equal ;) so i am looking for references or rules which support my position that:
A) Dimension hop does in fact move you 10ft (hence you have moved 10ft)
B) The Stance requirements are met by this Dimension Hop movement of 10 ft
C) Standard Movement: left 10ft, then right 15ft, then forward 5ft is movement of 30ft, and the Stance does not require me to move 10 ft from my original position (unlike skirmisher errata)

Any help or insights are greatly appreciated.

Cheers

one more thing, there is a second level maneuver that allows you to teleport (i think 50ft), which you could have by 3rd level, so the dimension hop combo is not even that great (since it takes a character level to get the psyonic power, so you cant do it until level 2)
