Hey everyone! My party (4 players, lvl 7) just recently killed/scared off some recurring nuisance NPCs who had recently been gifted some item upgrades by The BBEG a mysterious benefactor. Naturally the party wanted in on those items, but as many of you know, there are a lot of NPC abilities that would be broken on a PC. I'm tweaking the items down a bit and was hoping I could get some feedback on balance:
Warp Belt:
Uncommon Item, requires attunement
This arcanotech belt has 4 charges, and regains 1d4 charges daily at dawn. You can use a bonus action to expend any number of charges to teleport to a place within range that you can see. Each charge spent grants 15' of range. Additionally, immediately after taking damage from an attack you can use your reaction to expend 2 charges to teleport within 15', making one melee or ranged attack before or after you teleport.
My main questions: is this a good number of charges or would 5 be better? Does this feel balanced?
(Updates: mentioned use of reaction in ability, added an attunement requirement, and allowed more charges to be spent to increase the teleport distance.)
I think it's fine with 4 charges. With 4 free misty steps you're probably going to want them to attune it, but it depends on your overall balance of magic items. I would add that to use the 2nd ability, it takes a reaction. It's a cool item. I like it.

Ah apologies yes this was always meant to use up a reaction, I forgot to note that.
I've made a few updates based on suggestions I've seen, thank you for your input!
