I'm new here-and I am sorry if I sound like an idiot for not knowing about this for certain (even more embarassing as I've been gaming for about 5 years now)
But first, some backround. (Bare with me, there is a purpose to this)
We (my gaming group) are a small bunch. We have one great DM, one god one and one....well.....one that "Plays to win and score a TPK." He's DMing at the moment. We put up with his.....excriment for the sake of playing. (And we don't wanna hurt his feelings etc.) The only way to survive is to powergame, something I never did.(And only survived cause I hid behind the power gamer buffing and healing.) In fact, our munchkin I think you call him, only does what he does so we have a chance at survival. It's a miracle we made it to third level with only one death.
Anyway, level 3. He has designed this demon house and a demon possesed halfling. The house has insanely dangerous traps, is darkened, and the halfling is sneak attacking us for a crapton and a half of damage. Powergamer goes to take her out when thanks to a failed spell, her posistion was revealed.
Anyway, in response she dimension doors, brining an unwilling powergamer into a trap that does 129 damage. To a level 3. And no, we couldn't run, "the house wouldn't let us."
I had a readied action, used benign trasportation declaring to the party as they watch on in horror (before the trap was sprung) "Oooh....lived to long. This is my honour." (Doctor who nerd, I know.)
I, as a mage had 16 hp. DC 20+ save for half damage. Needless to say, I was toast. But had I not, everyone would have died.
Backround out of the way, am I mistaken in thinking the dimension door spell shouldn't have worked as it did, (much less without a save) when I'm pretty sure it states you may take "One willing creature....per 3 caster levels" Furthermore, powergamer's character was over 1000 pounts. The halfling would have been over encumbered (exceeding maximum load) as well.
Last time we were to be teleported, I said offhandedly I "dont want to go, I'm not ready yet, give me five more minutes." and as such I was left behind, causing an immense amount of trouble for me. That said, we can ignore this case when examining the one I pose to you now.
I guess, what I want to know is, by the book, was this legal? I have no intention to cause the DM any trouble, I'm just looking for some...closure. And I may talk it over with him to see if I can be raised for another shot. (As the party at the level the Wizard becomes somewhat dangerous.)
Thanks you in advance.
Oh-and we're playing 3.5 if it helps. I really want to be sure before talking to the DM, so I'm not in the wrong.
