Your body has been tattooed with a mystical map of Nexal forces. This tattoo allows you to shift your physical body in space, dissappearing from one location and appearing in another.
This ability grants the Nexus Champion a form of teleportation. The character will always appear at his destination outside of any buildings and cannot teleport past wards that would normally prevent him from accessing the location. This tattoo does not allow teleportation between planes.
Teleportation costs only 1 Action Point but a variable number of Magic Points based on the distance travelled. The number of Magic Points spent is equal to the distance travelled. Thus, if the Nexus Champion teleported 4 squares north and 5 squares east, he would spend a total of 9 Magic Points. The maximum teleportation range is 10 squares in any direction, for a total of 20.
Teleportation may be achieved by clicking on the square to teleport into on the Large Map tab.
The character will always appear outside at his destination regardless of his "inside" status at the starting location. The Nexus Champion cannot teleport into a square if there is a ward erected that would normally prevent him from entering the location. If such a ward exists in the destination location, the teleportation fails but the Magic Points are spent.
The skill will not allow the Nexus Champion to teleport into a void. Teleportation to water locations will also fail unless the character possesses some normal means of traversing water, such as the Swim skill.
Having an Origami Tiger called will only cost the pet 1 AP and no MP to the pet itself.
If a Nexus Champion has both Tattoo of the Wandering Way and Tattoo of the Eye of Death, he may directly teleport to the locations given by the Eye of Death, presuming they are within range.
Upon the empty grasslands of Isle of Gates, a lone figure sat, his head bowed in silent meditation. On the left, a feathered army marched, their voices steeped in the sweet melody of the word. On the right, twisted abominations shrieked with cruelty as they swarmed the surrounding area.
The Nexus Champion stood with a deep sigh. Staring pensively over the mists of the void, he searched the endless abyss for direction, for guidance. None came.
This is not my battle, he thought.
As the opposing forces neared, the warrior threw his arms wide and concentrated. The tattoos on his chest tightened as the Nexus itself ebbed and flowed around the warrior, enveloping him with a ripple of magical energy.
He reappeared on a small, floating patch of land to the south, and not yet clear of danger, he turned to face the clashing armies. The two groups tore one another apart with claws and rifles and blades…all to appease their divine patrons.
As the man pondered his own purpose in the nexus, a flying behemoth spotted him, letting out a deafening roar. With another sigh, the warrior once again pulled the nexal blanket onto himself and disappeared.
