[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 1186554, member: 4936"] Actually, you can DD and teleport through Walls of Force. Neither spell requires a line of effect to function (save, perhaps, through the Astral plane...which is not generally an issue). I see no reason one couldn't use such a spell to escape (or enter for that matter) a Resiliant Sphere. The salient issue is that teleportation effects move the subject [i]without crossing the intervening space[/i]. Thus it doesn't matter what's in your way. A door, a wall of stone or iron or adamantine...or of force. Thus, the spell description for Resilient Sphere that states that nothing can pass through the sphere is obviated by the logic that teleport spells don't cause the subject to pass through the sphere. Rather, they cease existing where they are, and begin existing at the target location. It's popular to explain this by positing instant transit through the Astral Plane. Even if one decides to go that route, it still allows material plane barriers, like walls of force, to be circumvented. The only plane that force effects co-locate on is the Ethereal.
