This enchantment can be found in the Magic item compendium book page. 32.

There are a number of questions i have to this enchantment.

1. Can I locate him 10 feet in the air?
2. Does it provoke attack of opportunity to FALL through threatend space?
3. Can I keep my enemy in the air for 3 hits if i have combat reflexes?

This is how I understand the combat:
Note that it is asumed that I hit on all my rolls and he fails his will saves :)

I hit the enemy with my +1 Great Axe Dislocator for X points of damage, as a swift action I activate the Dislocator and teleports him 10 feet in the air he then falls and must make a tumble check dc 15 or lose 1d6 in falling damage. He is moving through my threatend area which provokes attack of opportunity and I hit him again and hit him for an additional X points of damage and he is teleported 10 feet in the air again.
And so it continues 1 more time before it is his turn.

Am I way off?

11-25-07, 03:08 PM Take a closer look at the effect's description. Activating the dislocator effect is a swift action, which can only be performed once per round and only on your turn.

That means that you can't use dislocator for an attack of opportunity. Additionally, it means that (baring certain special effects or magic items) you can only activate it once per round.

It does not say that the subject must be summoned on the ground(or similar stable surface), however I would be inclined to enforce that stricture. However there isn't any particular precedent on that point that I'm well aware of.

As for provoking attacks of opportunity, there is a precedent established by Bullrush and similar methods of enforced movement that the moved creature does not provoke attacks of opportunity from the creature who forced the movement, but does still provoke AoO from other nearby creatures. If you were allowed to Teleport the foe directly overhead to drop down, then that's how I would handle povocation for the inherent movement.
