[psionic] Autoteleport out of a grapple
 
I'm playing a teleporter in a Psi game and we're having some issues resolving teleporting out of a grapple. My thoughts are, if I take a -5 to Autoteleport and make the teleport an instant, then it is no longer a concentrate maneuver, and grapple penalties do not apply. This is based on the following thread:

If that's not correct, can someone out there suggest some rules for using Psi abilities while grappled?

Thanks for your thoughts!!!

I don't think you can get out of making a Concentrate Maneuver. Doing anything in Gurps (except making an active defense) takes a Maneuver of some kind.

Correct. It becomes a free action. Free actions are not limited by grapples. Or, put another way Warp is 100 points and that's 100 points of unfairness against everyone who also doesn't have warp.

Thanks so much for clearing that up!!! Free action makes perfect sense.
