How would you build this power?

[Polaris]

Greetings,

I have been transferring stuff from d20 into Hero for our group, and came to an ability that I am having trouble with.

The ability (an ability of a 'Devoted Defender" prestige class) allows: If the defender is five feet from the person being defended, the defender can switch places with the person (in essence, if someone were standing nose to nose with the defender's charge, then the defender could instantly switch places with the charge and have the opponent standing nose to nose with the defender, while the defender's charge is behind the defender). I hope I am explaining it well.

Any ideas?? It would only work to switch places with the devoted defender's charge (person the defender is devoted to). It would be instant, and the charge would not need to act in the movement. I suppose in Hero the charge would probably have some way of defending against it, but the power would not require the charge's consent to be moved.

Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Thanks!! :)

It's not cheap, but...

1" teleport, usable as attack at range, (AE 1 hex accurate ?) only to teleport target to your location plus 1" teleport, linked to above, only to teleport to target's location

That's one possible way.

There's a huge thread on Castling (swapping two peoplke using teleportation) one either this or the System board - that may provide you some ideas.

For a non-powered alternative check out "Grab and Control" in the Ultimate Martial Artist.

The Devoted Defender is a Body Gaurd. So, grab the charge and swing them around and drop them off in a different hex.

As a side note, in the future you might want to go for a less vague/ more specific thread title. It makes it easier to find a thread later if digging for it, and its easier to make sense out of from the list. Thanx!
