Dimensional step and AoO

Question

Does a dimensional step provoke any attack of opportunity?

From the rules:

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.

However using a SP does provoke an AoO...

What is the movement that doesn't provoke an AoO referred in the description?

Answer 1

There Isn't Any

The conjuration arcane school spell-like ability dimensional steps says

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.

However, strictly speaking, there's no movement associated with teleportation. Movement involves a creature using its speed with a movement mode (i.e. burrow, climb, fly, land, swim)--not on the creature's ability to travel from one square to another--, and only distance is associated with dimensional steps, not speed with a movement mode.

In other words, don't worry about it. There were no attacks of opportunity to provoke except from the activation of dimensional steps as a spell-like ability, and the ability ends up simply providing excess unneeded information.
