Dimension Door on an Ally

[Chevalier83]

Dimension Door can be cast on "Target you and touched objects or other touched willing creatures", so I can actually cast it on an ally, say a fighter.

It also says
"After using this spell, you can't take any other actions until your next turn."

so my question is: can the fighter I teleported use actions?

a) This turn if his initiative is lower than mine?
b) Next turn if his initiative is higher than mine?

my thinking is yes to (a) and (b), since his turn has not started when I am casting this thing, and he just can't take actions until his next turn, which is either.

He is unaffected by any of the negative side affects of DD...if you go before him in the initiative, you can "caster-wagon" straight up to the enemy, allowing him to get his full attack that turn. If you went after him in the initiative, his doesn't change because of the spell, so he is in whatever place you DD him to.

@Chevalier: you understand correctly. DD's downside only affects the caster.

Incidentally, combat rounds don't really matter all that much; A and B are really the same case.

if you want to move the fighter in combat as a way to conrol de batlefiled consider this another option

DESCRIPTION
You telekinetically launch an ally across the battlefield to anywhere within this spell’s range. While moving, your ally is flying just above the ground unless you wish otherwise. Movement from this spell provokes attacks of opportunity as normal, although you can lift your ally over objects or out of enemy reach, as long as your ally remains within this spell’s range. If your ally lands adjacent to an opponent, he can spend an immediate action to make a melee attack against that opponent with a +2 bonus on the attack roll.
