44) Teleport/Freefall spell BADLY CODED
The teleport spell (snip) can only teleport objects that are in a direct walking line of sight from the target. This means if an enemy is in the way, you cannot teleport the target behind the enemy. The code only seems to check "is it possible to walk there". It also only uses the target's line-of-sight as the center of the radius. This has the odd effect of a max range teleport being able to move the target 15 m past the casters normal max limit.
I just had a fight where my party got half-bunched up into a small room, with walls blocking the way. Jahan could cast Blind on enemies who he could not actually see, but he could not Featherfall-teleport anyone inside the room to outside it.

That's not why I posted this though: I just found a document I made during the beta with some more ideas. Granted, a bunch probably suck, but here they are anyway.
