I don't see any flaw in this, from what is written in the spell.Aid other tabletop gamers in creating interesting or devastating characters. So the order is clearly that the thunder is AFTER the disappearance, and because it is IMMEDIATELY after, the logical conclusion is that the appearance, since it cannot be before the disappearance, is ALSO after the boom. Now, since there are three things, there is an order, and the boom is 'Immediately after you disappear'. Do you deny this, that the three appear separately ? So there is, clearly, in as many words, in the spell description: a disappearance, a boom, and an appearance. Since you are taking the creature along, it's logical that you also appear. The creature must be within 5 feet of you when you cast this spell, and there must be an unoccupied space within 5 feet of your destination space for the creature to appear in otherwise, the creature is left behind.' You can also teleport one willing creature of your size or smaller who is carrying gear up to its carrying capacity. Moreover, if you read the spell, there is circumstantial evidence that you appear: 'You can bring along objects as long as their weight doesn’t exceed what you can carry. Since, ultimately, the spell teleports you, you indeed reappear, the question is WHEN. If people still select it and use it despite such a ruling, good luck to them, but I don't believe it's worth it.Īnd fortunately, there are many other spells I could take instead.ĮDIT: this kind of reminds me of the days when Fireball absolutely HAD to produce it's maximum volume of blast, so if you tried to fling it at a wall to catch just enemies in it's radius and not your allies, oops, sorry, the explosion comes right back at you! Thankfully, we now only get a 20' radius out of Fireball, even if the center of the blast is right against a solid object. I can't for the life of me see how deciding to not teleport and doing damage to enemies without taking damage is problematic or exploitative.

One that might not ever be worth preparing, to be honest. To say that Thunderstep is only useful as an escape spell if every time I cast it, I must always be able to teleport out of the blast zone makes it an extremely narrow spell. In fact, I'm gimping the ultimate function of the spell to do it.

If I want to blast everyone in my vicinity with damage without moving, there are better ways to do that. I really don't see why this is considered 'rules lawyering to get an advantage'.
