Re: Chess-like teleportation
Slightly more limiting if you can't choose which of the two hexes form the base of the 'L'. The limitation might be really "only three yards" or "only two yards".
Knights in chess don't have facing, so I assume that's not a problem here. But that could be another limitation; in tactical combat, it might cost you some Move to face the right way before porting. If you were so limited, you'd also have the possibilities of "Left-Handed L Only" or "Right-Handed L Only", which is to say one specific hex given your facing, two or three hexes away (pre-selected in the most stringent case). |

If you really want knight movement how about using a single orienting direction as NAS suggests and decoupling it from the hex grid? Have the character Warp in straight cardinal lines and end up in whichever hex that puts them. |

This IS for an actual game. There are several gods, and worship by a god by a character (demi-gods) confers onto them a blessing in the form of a power. This power derives from the horse-headed god of travel. |

Re: Chess-like teleportation
I'd make it depend on an arbitrary direction (just like a chess board) and in-game straight lines rather than a hex grid that doesn't exist in game.
