Since dimension door doesn't have a range of self is it possible to be used with twin spell, or does the ability to bring an attitional creature with you prevent it from being twinned?

I don't think it works, I could go two ways on the reason...

 

First, you might argue that it doesn't target any creatures, it targets a location. 

But maybe you disagree and think it does target the caster, since you teleport yourself. In that case though, it must have the ability to target a second creature as well.

 

Between those two arguments, i don't see much room for it to work. You'd have to say that you're targetting yourself but not the second creature, which seems like a hard interpretation to defend.

Thanks for the responses. I had reservations myself, but thought it would be good to have some outside perspective on the subject. On a similar note, didn't someone post a list of all the twinable spells on the thread about errata?

Mechanically, I'd say this does nothing.

 

Narratively, I'd say this is an amazing plot hook.

#1  The caster is trapped halfway between both locations, constantly teleporting between them.

 

#2  The spell backfires, instead teleporting a creature from each locations to the caster.  And they are none too pleased.  DM's choice.

 

#3   The caster was teleported two places simultaneously. Now there are two of them.

#3a  The other one is an evil twin

#3b  The other one is a time locked echo two seconds behind the primary.
