DIMENSION DOOR
Level 4 Conjuration SpellTeleport yourself and up to one adjacent ally to a place you can see. The ally cannot be larger than Medium.
Range: 50m (167ft)
When to cast Dimension Door
Use it to get out. A caster surrounded in melee, or a downed-and-revived ally who is about to get hit again, can be 50m away in one Action. The ally has to be within 2m of you when you cast it, so step next to them first.
It also gets you in. Ledges, rooftops, and the far side of a chasm are all fair game as long as you can see the landing spot. Teleport your Rogue up to the high ground with you and let them Sneak Attack from where nobody can reach them.
It costs an Action, not a Bonus Action, which is the real difference from Misty Step. That is a whole turn of not casting, so save it for when the reposition matters more than the damage.
Out of combat it is a puzzle solver. Plenty of locked-off areas are just a visible spot you cannot walk to, and this spell does not care about the walking part.
