==characteristics of escape options==
One of the main method of surviving is to escape in time. Tome provides several escape options useful for many different situations. First there is a difference between escaping and just repositioning. If you only want to get some distance to your foe or only want one or two rounds to wait for a cooldown, you don't want to get far away with a teleport rune. Then you only reposition. Nevertheless repostion and escaping works in the same way, you just want to get farer or behind a wall with a long way to get there if you want to escape.

The other main difference between escape options are the situations you can use they. It is really important to have a look for that because normally, if you want to flee, something has gone bad and that is often a reason, which limit your escape options.
* '''Surrounded''' If you are surrounded you can't normally move away. But teleport works fine. alternatively you can go through walls or swap with an enemy, if you are able to.
* '''Pinned, Grappled''' All movements are impossible. You can still try teleport or try to get rid of your status effect before you move away
* '''Silenced''' You can't use your spells. This affected most of teleport options. Movement still works fine.
** '''Silenced and grappled''' This is a real threat for magic user and the main reason why bloated ooze are so dangerous. If you can't get rid of the status effects you could try a [[torque of psychoportation]].

 There are also a few different types of situations in which you need a quick escape, and for which some of the escape options are not useful. Here are a few examples:

 The main method of surviving is to put distance between yourself and your enemy, so that you can heal or otherwise recover resources to resume fighting. ToME provides several escape options, useful for many different situations. Many of these options are also used for tactical repositioning - moving yourself or your enemies in order to gain and advantage during combat.
-The other main difference between escape options are the situations you can use them. If you only want to get a few tiles distance from your foe or only want to wait one or two rounds for a talent to finish cooldown, a teleport rune is not helpful - you'll be out of combat range.
