[RPG] Can you teleport or Dimension Door out of your clothes

dnd-3.5espellsteleportation

I've got a warlock with Flee The Scene, a dimension door spell-like ability. He's been attacked by monstrous spiders and has 1 STR left, meaning his 15lbs of armour alone is more than a heavy load.

He's not grappled, and he's not unable to move as he would be at 0 STR. Can he use Flee The Scene to jump out of his clothes and sprint naked for freedom?

Best Answer

Yes, you can.

The exact wording of Dimension Door is

You can bring along objects as long as their weight doesn’t exceed your maximum load.

So it is you to decide, whether you bring your armour with you or not.

I would say that you can even choose what to bring with you and what to leave behind. But if your new maximum load is lower than the total weight of your possessions then you are not allowed to bring everything.

Both Teleport and Teleport, Greater work the same way.

You can bring along objects as long as their weight doesn’t exceed your maximum load.
