Thinking about how a warpriest can cast a lot of spells as swift actions....I know some deities will let their followers cast unique spells, so I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way I can gain Dimension Door, or even something weaker....so I can fake a pounce? There was a Word of Power, Accelerate, but it's not divine. I may even be willing to go Samsaran to nab spells from another divine class that give me this ability. I might be willing to do Beast Shape 2 somehow, but would prefer just movement. (note, I'm not looking for a movement bonus, I'm looking to be able to move during the spell)

Dimension Door would be a poor choice as it ends your turn after you've swift-action cast it with fervor. And I don't see any deity giving it as a special spell for the followers.
After using this spell, you can’t take any other actions until your next turn
What you can do is worship Baphoment (CE) for access to Monstrous Physique II as a 4th level spell. This has the advantage of not melding your weapon/armor like Beast Shape does. Bit of an extreme choice of worship for many parties, though.
Kazutal (NG) gives you Beast Shape II as a 4th but will meld your weapon/armor like usual.
Personally I'd go with Dreamed Secrets and worship a relevant Great Old One/Outer God (CN, NE, CE) for access to the Storm Step spell if polymorphing wasn't what you were really after.

I was thinking I'd have to pick up Dimensional Agility, but I see now there are better options. The lower the level of the spell, the better. Didn't know about Dreamed Secrets, will probably definitely use that. At level 7, I can start use Dimension Hop as a level 2 spell and full attack. Now I just need to ramp up my Will saves.
And these can change each day? So on off days, I can cast permanency and stuff? That's pretty cool.
And I could upgrade, once I hit level 14, to Monstrous Physique for pounce.
Now I just need to find a fun god that fits.
Some options so I can use the Destruction domain: Ghatanothoa, Azathoth.
However, if I went with Xhamen-Dor and got Deific Obedience, I'd get a profane +4 bonus that'll help with my wis saves. But...I'd probably just go with something with Destruction.

Not sure how you would manage to get it on your spell list, but Bladed Dash (when cast as a swift action) would let you move and attack (as part of the casting as a Warpriest) and then full attack.
There's a 6th tier Hierophant ability you'd have to take twice. But at that point you could have solved your pounce needs a long time ago.
