So my question is for the 15th level protean bloodline power Spatial Tear (Sp) (scroll down a bit and its there in the link, the link is specifically the entire protean bloodline).
At 15th level, once per day, you can unravel the fibers of reality and ride along them as they snap back into place. This power functions as dimension door, while also creating a mass of black tentacles centered on your former location. Both of these effects use your sorcerer level as the caster level. At 20th level, you can use this ability twice per day.
Would this work with the dimensional feats? Mainly Dimensional Dervish?
I am deciding whether I want to invest in the Eldritch heritage feat line far enough to get this, and this is important if it would work or not because I've already got the dimensional feats, so I'll go for another bloodline if it doesn't work and I still want to pursue the feats.
My reasoning for why it would work are that it is a spell like ability and it plainly states "This power functions as dimension door." But it has the added effect of the tentacles which I feel some people will argue means it doesn't work.
So any opinions here please?
If there are more specific rules on this then feel free to share them also. I am inclined to believe that according to the rules it would work though.
So if it does work that brings me to my next question, if you dimensional dervished with spatial tear, how many black tentacles would be created?
The power says "...while also creating a mass of black tentacles centered on your former location." So former here could be read as every place you were at along the path, or only the first place.
-1 from the first place you were at?
-A black tentacle for every place you jumped from?
-Or does it not work at all?
Thank you all,
Cameron

I would allow it in my game.
I do believe the tentacles make it ambiguous by RAW, but as this is too high-level for PFS I presume you can check with your GM.
I would only produce tentacles from the first point that you depart from, since otherwise that's potentially a TON of tentacles, though visually I would describe some of those tentacles briefly "waving through" the tears produced by the rest of your passage.

That's about what I expected. And yeah its a home game not PFS so I can talk with the GM on it.
I just figured I'd see if anyone else had any opinions on it since we're all new to the game. This is our first game. So I'm open to talking to the GM and he's fairly lenient, maybe too lenient on things like this, so I didn't want to break the game.We had a session the other day where we got stripped of our magic gear and he let a player draw a cheese wheel as a weapon as a swift action, which was then thrown as a players second attack in his turn, and that ended with a lucky roll and tripped the strongest opponent. So that pretty much ended the encounter then.
Now it was a great encounter and we all make jokes about the cheese wheel now so it's hilarious and I'm glad it happened, I just don't want to take advantage of that and break the game.
Edit: If it did tentacles from every place then yeah it'd be a ton of tentacles, and it'd probably get in the way of allies too, so it could easily be a double sided sword there. And I would also have to invest 7 feats to even be able to do it since I'd need to get the whole Eldritch heritage line and the skill focus. So there's still a good chance it doesn't happen. 8 feats if I want dimensional savant for flanking too. So that'd be most of my feats there already taken... It may be smarter to VMC for it...
