Preventing Dimensional Portal?

[MaxxSterling]

So, many beings like Demons can just portal at will effectively dodging death everytime... Is there any spell or item that can negate this, like an anti-movement shell or something. I don't recall ever seeing one, have any of you?

[Ectoplasmic Bidet]

The Dimensional Barrier spell from Library of Bletherad, the Seal Against Teleportation & Mystic Portal spell found in the Fleets of the Three Galaxies, and the Dimensional Anchor spell from Rifter #15.

Thank you much. That's what I needed to know.

1. Magic Shackles. see Splynn: Dimensional Market.
2. Phase World hyper-tech. See Phase World.
3. Undefined magics that can create areas as small as a prison, or as big as an entire dimension, that are deliberately crafted to either have player characters make rolls at penalty to get out of (e.g., The Land of the Damned, Ereshkigal's domain, et al.), or even stop teleportation altogether (e.g., the prisons keeping beings like Ahriman and Cronus contained). See Rifts: Pantheons of the Megaverse and the Land of the Damned series books in PFRPG.
4. Probably the Anti-Magic Cloud spell can do this as well.
5. The Crystal Artifact that Lord Karnack uses. See Rifts: Hades.
   The technologically-based CS creations (white noise generators, etc.) that greatly and negatively affect the mage's mind. See the Siege On Tolkeen series.

A Shifter can shut him down if he makes his Dimension Sense roll and has the PPE to use.

Yeah, but how does that work when the being doesn't have to spend P.P.E. to use its power? Does the Shifter get to redirect it for free?

If it's free to use, it's free to redirect. easy come, easy go

That's a really good question. I think RUE says that the Shifter has to pay the same amount of PPE to override the Dimension Magic. Obviously that can be taken in different ways.

The Shifter uses 2 actions and must make a challenged D20 roll (both sides roll a d20 high roll wins) if successful the shifter spends the PPE and can redirect the t-port or portal to where ever they want.

Kinda overkill but in the wormwood book there is a spell that held the unholy that shifters and temporal mages can learn.

I would allow the Time Barrier spell also to block teleporting or to open dimensional doorways.

One could argue that if you had an AoE 'Aberrant Energy Dampener' from either Aliens Unlimited or the Galaxy Guide it would prevent such, but then again it would also disrupt the abilities of friendly casters, among other things.

[Witchcraft]

there's an ability in the armageddon unlimited book that allows heroes / villains to alter the dimensional fabric and make it considerably more difficult (saving throw) to use any dimensional / temporal magic in the area.

The "Seal Against Teleportation & Mystic Portal" spell only prevents teleportation into the target area - it does not specify any teleportation or outgoing teleportation.

Demons can't Portal at will, but they can Teleport at will, which makes it even harder to keep them confined. If someone can make portals you can Carpet of Adhesion their feet to prevent them from stepping into it, but no such luck with teleportation.
