10-18-07, 02:04 AM Since it's a spell, I'd have to say yes. If not, it really depends on whether or not Prismatic Sphere would block astral travel through it.

10-19-07, 04:42 PM I would think that if it works like teleporting, the matter could very well go through solid objects, which would mean that it could go through the walls of the room, and thus find its way around the prismatic wall. In other words, if it wouldn't be stopped by an airtight bubble made out of whatever material the room is made out of and the dimension door doesn't require a straight line path to the destination, then that dimension door isn't gonna be stopped by a prismatic wall that is just forming one wall in the room. If it was a prismatic sphere, things might very well be different.

If it extends to where ever dimensional door goes/uses, then yeah it would stop it (or at least, the wall would be there too).
