As per Teleport (d20pfsrd) can you teleport others without having to teleport with them?

Best Answer

In general, there are ways to teleport other people without teleporting yourself,¹ but the teleport spell itself does not enable that. It targets “You, and […],” and the description literally starts with “This spell instantly transports you to a designated destination,” (emphasis mine). It affecting anyone or anything else is addressed later, saying “You may also bring […],” meaning have those things teleport with you, not teleport independently of you.

  1. I’d suggest some, but I can’t think of any that match teleport’s extreme range. Plane shift, I guess, sort of. And I guess you could shove someone through a gate, though that’s not the same thing.
