Am I missing a few things here?
1. I thought it took no extra successes (and no navigation roll) to
teleport someone else, much less three?
2. It doesn't do THAT much damage (5d6+5? 5d6+10?), a blaster or a good
pistol can do just as much, at range, maybe more.
3. It doesn't get people stuck in walls and stuff (although the using the
entangle trick is pretty cool). If you teleport someplace occupied, you
appear in the closest available open space.
