[BNW] Teleporters

[Kirt Dankmyer <loki@triadntr.net>]

Hey, all. I'm new to the list, and if these questions have already answered. I
can't find list archive for this list yet, and none of this is covered in the
errata.

Anyway, I have a lot of questions about the Teleporter power. If there's
official representation on the list, I wouldn't mind an official answer, but I
wouldn't mind other people's thoughts as well. I really like teleporting
supers, and I have to admit, I was kinda disappointed by how ill-defined the
Teleporter package was.

Can one teleport objects? It would seem kinda wierd that one can only teleport
sapients. Obviously, one teleports the objects on one's body, but what about
stuff one's holding? How big can that get i.e. is there a weight limitation?
If one teleports a foe into an object, doing the "regular damage" (by which I
assume 5d6+10 is meant), how does that damage manifest, i.e. what does it look
like? Does that really bypass all armor, including "built-in" armor like the
Tough has? If so, teleporters have a pretty disturbing attack, there, as long
as there's stuff to teleport people into. Can one teleport someone into
someone else? If so, do they both take damage?

Also, are vector and inertia maintained when one is teleported? This is
relevant, for example, if one is falling and teleports to the ground. If
inertia is maintained, one can still hit the ground pretty hard. When one
teleports, is there a "pop" when the air rushes in to fill in the empty space?
If not, why not? Is there "castling", i.e. the space the teleporter vacated is
replaced by whatever stuff (air or water) is in the place the character ends
up, so no pop?

BTW, I'd like to end this note by mentioning that part of the reason I'm
asking this is I really like BNW's alternate-history background, and I'd like
to play a workable Teleporter in it. (Pert of the reason I asked about
objects, and whether their orientation has to be the same, is because I'd like
to be able to have a character that can teleport his costume onto himself, by
having it folded-up in his pocket and touching it.)
