Blink and fast characters
One use of Blink is to break adjacency with a dangerous monster when your movement speed is the same as the monster's:
• If you're slower than the monster, then Blink might buy you a few turns until they catch up, but you generally wouldn't be able to make a full escape.
• If you're faster than the monster, then you can break adjacency without blink.
• If you're the same speed as the monster, then once you break adjacency with Blink, the monster will not (generally) be able to close the gap, thus making a full escape at least possible.
I know Blink has other uses, such as getting outside of a crowd of monster who have you surrounded. This will be helpful even to a character with fast movement speed.
Am I right, however, that characters with fast movement speed should value Blink less than characters with average movement speed? That is, a fast character shouldn't as highly value +Blink on equipment, and shouldn't go as much out of their way to learn the Blink spell.
Are there other uses of Blink that I'm missing that would benefit a fast character?
