Flavor: Well, as a greater version of another spell, this isn't a big deal. It isn't any better or worse, which is fine.

Mechanics: It seems 1 spell level too high (at least). CL 10 would have dimension door at 800 ft. and this at 200 ft. per jump for 20 rounds. Using multiple actions you can get 600 ft. per round, and probably use up all the duration to bring passengers. So it isn't strictly better (which is probably what you thought when leveling it at 5).

Your example for the multiple jumps is inconsistent with the text. A move action jump takes 0 rounds away from the spell's duration (for the first move action), so the second should cost 1 round from the duration. Meaning you reduce the duration by 1 round and also spending a round doing these actions will also take away 1 round of duration.

Formatting: Might be nice to use a bulleted list like Sulacu did.


Also, line of effect can be worse than line of sight. Line of effect can't go through windows. The article should be something like:
As Bamf, but with the following changes:
  • You can use line of effect instead of line of sight to determine locations to teleport to
  • You can teleport 20 ft. per caster level instead of 10 ft. per caster level
  • etc.
Hope that helps. --Aarnott (talk) 22:15, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
