Give Kheldians access to Teleport pool

What the title says. Recall Friend is one of the most team-useful utility powers in the game, and I really can't think of a reason why it shouldn't be available to the glittersquids.

Am I missing anything here?

Due to whatever design decisions, teleport and fly were locked out because they get it inherently. WS get fly (squid) and two TPs (normal and dwarf), PB get three styles of flight (squid, hover-equiv, fly-equiv) and a TP (dwarf).

That's not to say I disagree with the suggestion - not heavily invested either way - but that's the most likely reason why.

I think the original reason may have simply been not to confuse people.

Yeah, giving them teleport when they already have it is redundant. Also, Warshades have Recall Friend.

Khelds get an inherent travel ability (several if you include the forms), and so they were restricted from getting powers they already have.
Uh... that's what I said, with slightly different words? O.o?

Erm, 5 flight types.

They also get access to Group Energy Flight, and Quantum Flight (fly+intangible).

And Warshades get Starless Step (TP Foe) and Nebulous Form (jump+intangible).

Nope. I included a postulated reason as to the "design decision." Admittedly, the rest of my post could have been left unsaid... as it already was. Said that is.

I think someplace in my head, the post had more merit and individuality than it actually came out with.

[I edited original post to look a tad less stupid.]

Given it also stops them from getting things like Hover (for WSs) Air Superiority, TP friends on PBs, etc. /Signed

Please do this! I want to have a PB in The Paragon Taxi Service!


I also want my WS to fly without having to change to squid form, but that's a completely different argument (or perhaps not, it's hard to tell).


If the VEATs can still get the Leadership pool, Kheldians should get the Flight and Teleportation pools. If someone takes fly on a PB or teleport on a WS then they're probably using someone else's account anyway.

I mostly agree with this. I would like Warshades to get a team teleport though.

Well, they don't get Air Superiority, though they do get melee attacks.

The real reason why (at least for Warshades not getting teleport pools and PBs not getting flight) is because the devs do not want an Any AT to basically have a double power. The closest being the Power boosts from some Dom secondaries as well as Domination.
With hasten, recall foe, and the Warshade recall foe, you'd basically be able to spam the longest range power in the entire game with nigh absolute impunity and actually have a chance to hit with it.

This seems like a suitable work-around.
