How would you rule this use of DD?

[BornofHate]

The party is prone at the start of combat. The mage is first to act. He stands and uses Dimension Door to move him and an adjacent, still prone, ally away.

Can the mage stand his ally up as part of the spell?

What if the ally wasn't flat footed?

My Ruling:

I said in this circumstance that the ally would remain prone, especially because of the flat footed condition. I am really interested to see what people say regarding a non flat footed ally.

Nothing in DD says anything about positioning, so you would appear in the same state you arrived in, flat-footed or not.

Nothing inherent to either Teleportation descriptor spells in general, nor to Dimension Door in particular, implies that it lets you go from prone to not prone in the course of the effect. If the mage were prone when he cast it, he'd be prone wherever he ended up as well. Furthermore, there's another spell, Walk Through Space, a 7th level Wiz/Sorc spell (compared to 4th lvl DD) that lets you apply a personal effect to either move 30' without crossing the intervening space or stand up from prone, both without provoking AoO. If it takes a 7th level spell to be able to stand from prone as a teleport in lieu of actual linear movement, I seriously doubt a 4th level spell can do it in conjunction with linear movement.
