Can You Misty Step Above Someone?

In the world of Dungeons & Dragons, one of the most powerful spells in the wizard’s arsenal is the Misty Step. This spell allows the caster to teleport a short distance, repositioning themselves with ease. But what if you wanted to take it to the next level and misty step above someone? In this article, we’ll explore the answer to that question and provide some guidance on how to make it happen.

Direct Answer

Yes, you can misty step above someone. There is nothing in the rules preventing this, as long as the person or object is within 30 feet of you, and you misty step onto their head or shoulder.

Reasoning

When casting the Misty Step spell, the caster simply needs to declare the direction they are moving and land on a solid surface (or, in this case, a person’s head or shoulder). The spell’s wording explicitly states that it can be used "up to 30 feet" in a direction the caster chooses. This leaves no ambiguity as to whether it’s possible to misty step above someone.
