I'm about to begin playing a level 8 conjuration sub-school specialist elven wizard. I have a question. How exactly does the Dimensional Steps spell like ability work? To my understanding it works similiarly to the 5th level Bard spell Bard's Escape,
Bard's Escape:

but just want to make sure. Ive seen some post about how it functions similarly to dimension door. Which makes a large difference.
Mainly in the fact that everyone must be within a range of touch for me to teleport the group, as opposed to just within line of sight.
This is the Dimensional Steps(Sp) ability description.
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.
Anyone that can clarify this?
The TL;DR
Wants to know if the reach of Dimensional Steps (Sp) needs to touch the creature to make them teleport or if its within visual range like bards escape.
You bring them with you--I think it's pretty clear they need to be next to you.
