Forget combat, how many times have you nearly missed slipping and falling while climbing stairs because of imperfect foot placement?
Well, for when you actually and up being in a bad enough position to slip, you get to save yourself, positioned perfectly for the next stride.Thats honestly a very good thing to point out as well!
Stairs, or hiking/walking on any kind of broken terrain... fucking snow, ice...
Yep, there's a whole ton of more situations where a blink ability could be very practically useful.

I'm playing a Pathfinder game where my character has something roughly resembling this ability, and so far it has allowed my party to essentially skip a few fights.
So curious about any funny stories. Like tried to get on the other side of a wall but you're skinniest character is 7.5 inches at the chest so their scapula gets stuck in some thatched wall so now they look like some kind of hay Angel.

Nah, my character has Mirror's Reflection. So I can get through any window just by duplicating and then un-duplicating myself. I've skipped trays that way and opened doors for my group using it.
Worst thing that's happened is a triggered a monster that one-shot me. From my team's perspective I tried to duplicate through a window and instead just fell down unconscious. If I'd rolled better initiative I could've seen it and un-duplicated before it had a chance to do anything.

7 inch teleport sounds genuinely useful in a fight. Also, couldn't you just keep teleporting 7 inches? It might still be faster and easier than running.
On the other hand, infinite gravel...

I am pretty sure you can sell gravel soooo

You're going to need a bobcat to find your front door.
I forgot that was a brand of front loaders for a second, and my brain went on a whole trip trying to figure why you'd need a bobcat.
Ah, the ancient proverb. "May thine abode be buried so significantly in granite that thy'll required services of a feline predator to findeth thou stoop."
To be fair, I think AESOP might have written a few stranger things.

The text just says look 10 hours younger. To me, that means un-doing all the apparent signs of aging: superficial stuff. Less wrinkles, fewer sunspots/freckles, hair is back where it used to be, no more cataracts, etc. Meanwhile, your internal organs, bones, and muscles keep going with the usual aging process.
Also, there's nothing saying you can't spam that shit and layer it. We probably need a rules lawyer or any of these could be exploitable.

Control toasters, duh. I'm gonna survive the AI revolution

But this gravel is free.

3 is overpowered, it's basically FTL if the reload time is low
Yeah teleporting 7 in if there's no time like between teleportations is godlike.

I want to say free gravel, but I need to know how its manifested. In a big pile where I want it? Or like never ending handfuls of pocket gravel?

I feel like everyone is underestimating 5. It's any toaster. Make a killer robot that happens to have the ability to make toast and you've got a remote control death bot.
I'd make a whole set of devices that happen to also be toasters. Why not add some heating elements and springs to an elevator, a car, a plane?
Yeah, you could hook up a sensor to detect the toaster coming on and basically control electronics with your mind.

There was nothing that said you can't teleport up. Meaning you can go up and over. Almost no effort way of getting our of traffic or cleaning the gutters, fixing things up high. Or ya know essentially low flight. This is all assuming there is no cool down and its like walking.

Toaster control for sure. After selling my robot toasters as a cheap way to communicate with satellites, I'll command an army of them all over the solar system.

- Sheer horror. You'll never be able to eat these again.
- This has been brought up before. Gravel isn't cheap. This is basically infinite money.
- If used continuously, you're basically The Flash.
- Just a bad idea unless you can put it inside your existing nose for double the sniff-sensitivity.
- Okay, that's just fun.
- Again, used continuously, this is the fountain of youth. You'll still die of old age though.
- Only useful under very specific circumstances. Also, define a "container".
- Unless the Khitan civilization knew things we don't, this isn't useful at all.
- Fast as he is now or when he was alive?
I'm thinking that #7 might be useful in certain policing or security positions, depending on the definition of empty (there's always dust and air).
Got a bunch of containers that need to be inspected? You can cross the ones you can see through off the list.
Also useful for winning the cup-and-ball game

I'm 10 hours younger (5 seconds later) , I'm 19 hours 59 minutes and 55 seconds younger, rinse and repeat until you reach your desired age. Immortality?
But you're not actually losing age in this one, just looking 10 hours younger so it wouldn't really stack.
-

Not when I’m through with it.
-
Could be useful, but it says nowhere that your clothes will teleport with you.
-

Oh dang. You'd still die from old age.

Okay. Your power instantly doesn't work as every case contains a placard saying what the dollar amount is and is therefore not an empty container
Still works with street gamblers though unless air is considered content as well
