Shadow Dancer and Dimensional Agility?

[Mucronis]

Does a Shadow Dancer's Shadow Jump qualify for the Feat Dimensional agility ? (and the other feats in that chain)

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.

Dimensional Agility:

Dimensional Agility

Teleportation does not faze you.

Prerequisites: Ability to use the abundant step class feature or cast dimension door.

Benefit: After using abundant step or casting dimension door, you can take any actions you still have remaining on your turn. You also gain a +4 bonus on Concentration checks when casting teleportation spells.

Is as if by means of a dimension door spell equal to cast dimension door for the prerequisite ?

Not by RAW. Cast means a spell, and Shadow Jump is a Supernatural ability.

Originally, the prereqs were much more lax, but this was specifically limited by Paizo.

Thought as much, but wanted to make sure, and my search fu failed me.

Guess I'll have to give the DM a cookie when this char gets remade (it's a home game and we're remaking a group of old 3.5 DnD chars to Pathfinder)

abundant step is the same as shadow jump except shadow jump requires a shadow. no reason why it wouldn't qualify

"Prerequisites: Ability to use the abundant step class feature or cast dimension door."

Can you use Abundant Step or Cast Dimension Door? If not, then by RAW it will not apply.

Holy Thread Necro =)

sorry, just had to.

By the rules you can't use approximations of a prereq. You must have the prereq, and shadowjump is not a spell, SLA, or abundant step, even if it were to do the exact same thing as any of them.
