Taran:
I don't know...being able to ignore borders at will is pretty strong. No need to break in to a place, use burglary. It makes for amazing recon and spying by zipping on top of the roofs of building. With Rapid teleport you can have a +8 bonus at feet in the water. You probably have a good enough chance of bypassing a ward anyways, but I'm not sure it should be automatic.
Dunno. I thought "generic" wards blocked anything it wasn't keyed to. Like "block everyone except me". Which would include someone trying to teleport through.
cowardlylion:
I imagine in terms of magic defenses against teleportation should be pretty rare because of how rare the ability its self is (especially in the dresden verse) and that only magical defenses specifically keyed towards teleportation should have any effect. Also I don't see why magic blocks should have a particular advantage against Teleporters over normal blocks its not as though they aren't already superior to their mundane rivals.

They do, but a teleporter ignores all penalties or blocks that would normally impede their movement. So it doesn't matter if a ward blocks the teleporter; the teleporter just ignores it anyway. (Unless the ward is specifically designed to stop teleportation.)
Taran:
O.k. So here's a question. Say they ignore the block and bypass that aspct of the ward, do they also ignore secondary triggers like being zapped or warning the wizard? They would still be considered unauthorized.
Sanctaphrax:
Yes, I think teleportation ought to let you ignore traps that are built into wards. Other traps could still get you.
That's just my interpretation, though. I don't think there's a "canonical" answer in the text of the Power.
