One of my party members is on the opposite side of a hostile ancient city. He is sleeping in a friendly camp (missed the previous session) and free to leave at any time. However, in-game time is a factor so we are thinking up options to meet up with him quickly.
So, I (I play a teleportation specialist wizard) would like to know, is there is spell that could teleport/summon/call a willing ally to me?
It doesn't matter what level or class, I'm just wondering if it exists.
Thank you in advance.
Thanks LazarX, what is the spell called?
word of recall?
Unfortunately Word of Recall just teleports you to a spot that you designated at the start of the day. That would work well to get the rest of us back to camp, but we need to get him to us.
This is really cool but it unfortunately still sends the person to a pre-determined spot. That being said, if the caster's abode was, for example, a Mage's Magnificent Mansion, then that spot could theoretically move with the party.
Thanks again, any other suggestions?
Well ... teleport to him, then teleport back.
Yea, that's the obvious solution, but I was hoping for something that doesn't require 2 level 5 spells, and the potential to send us to some random location.
So you're probably not going to like casting two teleport without errors either.
I believe there is a spell you can cast on an item that will recall it to your hand once triggered. Cast this on a small item enchanted with an extradimensional space that is capable of holding a creature. As long as your passenger keeps it on his person and can communicate with you, he could send you a message that he's ready to go, climb inside the space and stay inside until you recall the object to your location.
Unfortunately, that too probably requires some amount of forethought. I have a suspicion that your particular set of constraints (one spell, limited level, no planning required) may be unworkable.
Well the question wasn't how to do it, we already know. The question was, is there a spell that transports a willing person somewhere on the material plane to the caster of the spell, also on the material plane.
This came to mind
Bracelet of Friends
Aura strong conjuration; CL 15th
Slot wrists; Price 19,000 gp; Weight —
Description
This silver charm bracelet has four charms upon it when created. The owner may designate one person known to him to be keyed to each charm. (This designation takes a standard action, but once done it lasts forever or until changed.) When a charm is grasped and the name of the keyed individual is spoken, that person is called to the spot (a standard action) along with his gear, as long as the owner and the called person are on the same plane. The keyed individual knows who is calling, and the bracelet of friends only functions on willing travelers. Once a charm is activated, it disappears. Charms separated from the bracelet are worthless. A bracelet found with fewer than four charms is worth 25% less for each missing charm.

Requirements Craft Wondrous Item , refuge ; Cost 9,500 gp
Bracelet of friends?
Ninja'd
aha, i remembered wrong.
Refuge (cleric 7/wizard 9) would do it also.
Refuge is definitely the closest spell, and Bracelet of Friends is the only spell effect that does exactly what we're looking for. Too bad that Refuge doesn't have that ability.
Thanks all.

You teleport up to one ally per five caster levels to your location.
You determine which allies you want to teleport at the time of casting; these allies have 1 round to decide to allow or refuse your spell, and they teleport immediately upon accepting. Allies are teleported as if you had cast teleport on them (your current location is at least "studied carefully" for this purpose), appearing in a puff of brimstone in a space adjacent to you. If you are in combat and your allies were not, your allies may roll initiative upon arrival but are not considered flat-footed even though they have not taken any actions. The spell does not function in areas warded against intrusion by evil creatures (such as a magic circle against evil effect).
Edit: just noticed how short the range is...
Cool skrahen, so there is a actually spell that can transport people to the caster. I wonder why it is such a high level and such a low range.
Probably because you can wait until an enemy has acted, walk next to them then cast signifer's rally to scoop your 3-4 allies out of dangerous positions and place them in Full Attack range of an enemy you've marked for death.
Casting round after round, a lot of creatures would be powerless against being Full Attacked each round. This trick is the bigger brother of using dimension door as a fighter-delivery-platform, since it works on the whole party.
Bard's escape is another spell with a similar effect. Although it operates more like dimension door, you can place your allies in any square within range -- wonderful not only for setting up flanking positions, but allowing the party ranged combatants to keep their distance, and for you to deliver your party members to the enemy without being close to the enemy yourself.
