Title*

Body*

This question came up in our group due to the interaction between *floating disk* and *misty step*. *Floating Disk* says:

> If you move more than 20 feet away from it, the disk follows you so that it remains within 20 feet of you. [...]\
If you move more than 100 feet from the disk (typically because it can’t move around an obstacle to follow you),
the spell ends.

The question is, what will happen if you are using *misty step* while you have an active disk? 

I suspect that how teleporting works is undefined, and thus up to the DM. In the absence of a statement that teleporting involves travel throught the etheral plane or somesuch, I'll rule that the disk follows you, as long as you do not teleport further than 100 feet away from it.

If teleporting however counts as leaving the plane, you would be more than 100 feet away from the disk while doing it, and teleporting would end the *disk* spell. Is there any description about what happpens when you teleport in some official source? I could not find any in the 5e core books, or in the SAC. Is there any in other publications for 5e, or in older editions that could be used as a fallback reference on what happens when you teleport?  (I prefer 5e, but would be willing to use older editions as precedent).

\$\begingroup\$ The [dungeons-and-dragons] tag is for questions about the franchise broadly, not questions about a specific edition where info from other editions might provide helpful insights. That tag should almost never be used in conjunction with a specific system tag. Let me know if it’s still unclear and I can explain in more detail. \$\endgroup\$

\$\begingroup\$ This doesn't seem to be the focus of your question, but wanted to note that if you were on top of the floating disk it would not remain touching your feet after non-trivial teleportation, since it lags by 20' \$\endgroup\$

\$\begingroup\$ @Cireo The caster is not standing on it, the caster is running around with expeditious retreat, their warlock buddy is standing on it \$\endgroup\$
