Can you teleport out of a resilient sphere?

You can teleport or plane shift out of Otiluke’s Resilient Sphere, provided that the caster is the one inside the sphere, and teleport will work, but its area of effect will be limited by the bounds of the sphere, so the caster and any targets must be inside.

Understanding Otiluke’s Resilient Sphere

Otiluke’s Resilient Sphere is a powerful spell that creates a barrier around a creature or object, making it completely safe from all attacks, but at the same time, completely unable to affect the outside world. To understand how to interact with this spell, let’s dive into some frequently asked questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

The following questions provide more insight into the capabilities and limitations of Otiluke’s Resilient Sphere, as well as related spells and interactions.

1. How do you get out of a resilient sphere? The only method of removing the sphere is a successful dispel magic spell, an item like a rod of cancellation or a rod of negation, or even a disintegrate spell, which would destroy the sphere and leave the prisoner inside unharmed.

2. Can you speak through Otiluke’s resilient sphere? Nothing–not physical objects, energy, or other spell effects–can pass through the barrier, in or out, though a creature in the sphere can breathe there.

3. Can you misty step out of being restrained? Yes, Misty Step doesn’t use your movement, and grapples only prevent movement, making it one of the spell’s best uses.

4. Can you teleport out of restrained 5e? Yes, restrained doesn’t prevent teleportation, so long as the other conditions are met, and it does reduce your speed to 0, but teleportation abilities allow you to move a certain distance independent of what your speed is.

5. Can you teleport away from a mimic? Yes, if a party member is adhered to a mimic and is grappled, another party member can cast Thunder Step, touch the grappled member, and teleport them away, breaking the mimic’s grapple without the grappled member needing to take an action to escape.

6. Can you cast Otiluke’s resilient sphere on yourself? Yes, if used defensively, the caster would cast the spell on themselves and become encased in a protective force field, limiting attack options since nothing can pass through the sphere.

7. Is resilient sphere opaque? Yes, according to the wording, the resilient sphere would appear as a black sphere, and inside it would be pitch black unless something inside produces light.

8. How much does Otiluke’s resilient sphere weigh? The sphere is weightless and just large enough to contain the creature or object inside, and an enclosed creature can use its action to push against the sphere’s walls and thus roll the sphere at up to half the creature’s speed.

9. What is death ward? Death Ward is a spell that grants a measure of protection from death to a touched creature, making the target drop to 1 hit point instead of 0 when it would die from taking damage.

10. What is the hamster ball spell in D&D? The “hamster ball spell” refers to Otiluke’s Resilient Sphere, a 4th-level spell that creates a barrier of force around a creature or object, keeping it safe but preventing it from affecting the outside world.

11. Does resilient sphere protect from fall damage? Yes, the sphere protects its occupant from external damage, including fall damage, but the occupant itself is not weightless.

12. What is the sphere of shimmering force 5e? A Sphere of Shimmering Force encloses a creature or object of Large size or smaller within range, requiring an unwilling creature to make a Dexterity saving throw to avoid being enclosed.

13. What is the ball of force 5e? A Bead of Force is a small, black sphere that can be thrown up to 60 feet and explodes on impact, dealing force damage to creatures and objects in its area.

14. Can artificers cast invisibility? Yes, Artificers can learn the Invisibility spell at 5th level, allowing them to cast it and become invisible.

15. Can you tame a mimic? While mimics are intelligent and can learn, fully domesticating them would require selective breeding and providing them with a mirror to enhance their learning capabilities.
