I friend of mine insist that his carachter could teleport with dimension door inside the stomach of a larger creature and then kill it easily (first of all buffing himself with Protection from acid, freedom of movement and something else).
I can't find in the core rulebook the exact rule stating that a creature can't teleport inside another creature, anyone could help me?

I'm a bit confused about the total damage taken by a creature costricted.

Example given:

SNAKE, costrictor
Melee bite +5 (1d4+4 plus grab)
Special Attacks constrict (1d4+4)

So the amount of damage taken per round of costriction is 2d4+8 or just 1d4+4?

The prd says:

Grab (Ex) If a creature with this special attack hits with the indicated attack (usually a claw or bite attack), it deals normal damage and attempts to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. Unless otherwise noted, grab works only against opponents at least one size category smaller than the creature. The creature has the option to conduct the grapple normally, or simply use the part of its body it used in the grab to hold the opponent. If it chooses to do the latter, it takes a –20 penalty on its CMB check to make and maintain the grapple, but does not gain the grappled condition itself. A successful hold does not deal any extra damage unless the creature also has the constrict special attack. If the creature does not constrict, each successful grapple check it makes during successive rounds automatically deals the damage indicated for the attack that established the hold. Otherwise, it deals constriction damage as well (the amount is given in the creature's descriptive text).

I assume the snake deals 2d4+8 damage per round

Constrict (Ex) A creature with this special attack can crush an opponent, dealing bludgeoning damage, when it makes a successful grapple check (in addition to any other effects caused by a successful check, including additional damage). The amount of damage is given in the creature's entry and is typically equal to the amount of damage caused by the creature's melee attack.

I assume I'm a bit confused now.

Anyone knows if there are any rules about the money cost of designing new spells?
The ultimate magic rulebook gives only general tips.
Maybe somewhere I can find house rules from which take inspiration...

In the old versions of D&D I used to paid for new spells, maybe there weren't any official rules in the 2.5 edition too...

Hi,
a Bralani Azata summoned with the feat "augmented summoning" who cast a whirlwind blast, does he have an improved DC for saving (due to constitution/strenght boost?).
In other therms: how do I calculate whirlwind blast's DC?
