Combat Teleport question

Is Combat Teleport (Psionic Powers p.68-69) considered a "dodge" for all purposes? For example, if my character is below 1/3 fatigue or 1/3 health, is my skill halved to teleport away just like my dodge, or is it still a full skill level?

I'd say no. The Autoteleport skill is a psi skill, IQ/Hard. The 1/3 injury threshold doesn't affect mental skills. The effect on the usual Dodge is a physical one -- you're moving a lot slower (half Move as well). But you don't have to move to blink away.

The same principle would work the other way, too. If you were suffering some distraction or other impairment to your mental skills, then the blink roll would be penalized even if you were at full HT and in perfect physical shape.
