Of the many spells available to spellcasting characters in Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition, Teleport is one of the most popular and useful at higher levels. The spell lets your character instantly appear somewhere else in the game world, so long as they’re familiar with the location. It makes travel much easier and has some creative applications in combat as well! For more information, read on. We’ve put together a complete guide to the Teleport spell, with tips on how to make the most of the spell in your campaign.
Things You Should Know
- Teleport is a 7th-level spell capable of instantly transporting your character long distances magically, so long as the destination is on the same plane.
- If your character is very familiar with their planned destination, the Teleport spell will likely work. If they’re unfamiliar, there’s a greater chance of the spell malfunctioning.
- Use Teleport to cut back travel time in the campaign, avoid backtracking to places you’ve already visited, and escape dangerous combat situations quickly.

Dungeons & Dragons ExpertInnovative teleportation methods in Dungeons and Dragons can add excitement and creativity to gameplay. Picture this scenario: A player spots a menacing monster on a cliff below loose rocks. Rather than opting for a conventional attack, they think on their feet. With a stroke of brilliance, they decide to harness the power of teleportation in a unique way. The player conjures a teleportation spell and instantly transports themselves to the top of the precarious rocks. Once there, they strategically position themselves, using their body weight to dislodge the rocks, sending them crashing down in a thunderous avalanche. The cascading rocks obliterate the monsters below, leaving the player victorious in their innovative approach to combat. This application of teleportation not only demonstrates quick thinking but also showcases the Rule of Cool in action, transforming a mundane encounter into an epic moment of triumph.
Tips
- If you’re a GM worried that your players might overuse the Teleport spell, remember that there are several ways to put a stop to that![16] For example:
- Teleport is less likely to work when players aren’t familiar with the location they need to reach—so if you send them somewhere they’ve never been, they may not try to use Teleport.[17]
- Use Forbiddance (a 6th-level abjuration spell) to stop your players from appearing in a particular location since Forbiddance blocks all teleportation and planar travel.[18]
- Create an enemy powerful enough to sense teleportation magic and innately stop it from working inside their realm! Alternatively, introduce your players to a place (such as a city) that forbids all teleportation, making it impossible to use the spell within city limits.[19]
