Okay, just to be absolutely sure, what about the converse? That is, if one
wants to teleport a foe into the ground, doing the regular damage, would that
require 3 extra successes as well? Because all the rulebook says (under the
Teleport Foe trick) is if you hit your foe, you can automatically teleport
them anywhere in range, even into something solid. No mention of extra
successes. If it's official errata that that requires 3 extra successes on the
Navigation roll, I'm certainly cool with that, considering that the attack
skips all armor if it succeeds, but I want to make sure that's the case.

Hmmmm, I'm trying to visualize this. So if I'm falling, and I teleport myself
to the ground, I still hit the ground with an amount of force as if I'd fallen
the amount I'd already gone. But I can, say, change which way I'm facing? So
as to land on my back, say, and not on my face? (Not that that's much better.)
Similarly, if someone were thrown past me and I touched him and teleported
him, he'd keep sailing in approximately the same direction, relative to the
earth, but I can change which way he's facing?

I know I'm sounding overly arcane, here, but I want to make sure I understand
what's going on.

Certainly, it's a nifty game.
