Dimensional Steps:
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.

Do I have to be touching the people I want to bring with. If not, do I measure the distance we travel from my original point, times by 2. Or do I measure from each person's original location to the new spot?

Based on the actual teleport spell, I would assume you had to be touching them.


Yea, but by RAW its quite an assumption to make. Dimension Door specifically states the creatures must be touching you.

Ask your DM, they are the person whose going to decide for you after all.

If your the DM, you decide.


I agree that it needs clarification. Barring errata, however, I would assume that anyone moving with the caster had to be in contact with the caster.


Being as the text of the ability reads very much like the text of the spell "Dimension Door" (and even the names are familiar), I would suggest using that spell as a basis for how the ability works.

Dimension Door allow the caster to take other creatures with him, provided he touches them.

Yes, since it doesn't explicitly say you can bring people you can't touch. Check the Conjuration (Teleportation) rules in the 3.p rule book.
