[UC] Dimensional Agility and Shadowdancers


Rules Questions


Dimensional Agility is a feat that works the ability to use the abundant step class feature or cast dimension door.

A Shadowdancer can perform shadow jump.

Shadow Jump (Su): At 4th level, a shadowdancer gains the ability to travel between shadows as if by means of a dimension door spell. The limitation is that the magical transport must begin and end in an area with at least some dim light. A shadowdancer can jump up to a total of 40 feet each day in this way; this may be a single jump of 40 feet or four jumps of 10 feet each. Every two levels higher than 4th, the distance a shadowdancer can jump each day doubles (80 feet at 6th, 160 feet at 8th, and 320 feet at 10th). This amount can be split among many jumps, but each one, no matter how small, counts as a 10-foot increment.

I know the likely-hood that the feat would work together with this class ability is next to nill, but I wanted some opinions.


The feat specifically requires you to be able to "cast" dimension door. Just working like it doesn't make the grade, unfortunately. If that little (Su) was an (Sp), we might have something to talk about.

That said, if I was running a game, I'd probably allow it. It fits shadowdancer flavor really well, and requires so many feats it wouldn't be terribly unbalanced.

Yeah, that is my opinion as well... it feels like they are teasing those who play shadowdancer with this one.


Req for dimensional feats should include these ones.
Note that Abundant step is pretty much exact as the shadowdancer one. Only real difference is ki-pool vs limited range/shadows.

I would allow it if you were playing with me.

Seems appropriate.
