Blymurkla, that I understand, however, why does it state "This teleportation must be used in 5-foot increments and such movement does not provoke an attack of opportunity."

And do you need to have line-of-sight to the location to teleport there?

I have a question re: this spell-like ability. It feels like the spell is trying to explain something but it's not getting the point across. Couldn't find any better clarifications online but:

Dimensional Steps (Sp)

At 8th level, you can use this ability to teleport up to 30 feet per wizard level per day as a standard action. This teleportation must be used in 5-foot increments and such movement does not provoke an attack of opportunity. You can bring other willing creatures with you, but you must expend an equal amount of distance for each additional creature brought with you.

So it's a spell like ability which functions as a spell with the following rules for casting spells:

1: Casting Dimensional Steps does provoke attacks of opportunities (but the actual movement as the result of the spell does not.)

2: Being a spell and lacking any description to state otherwise, it follows the same rule for spells stating you need line of effect i.e.

A line of effect is a straight, unblocked path that indicates what a spell can affect. A line of effect is canceled by a solid barrier. It’s like line of sight for ranged weapons, except that it’s not blocked by fog, darkness, and other factors that limit normal sight.

Could you help us verify if point 1 and 2 are correct?

Thanks
