Something people sometimes do accidentally here at ENW; just an FYI.Also, since you probably can't post links yet, this is the <a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/3rd-party-classes/adamant-entertainment/warlock" target="_blank">link</a>.***To the actual question, a supernatural (Su) ability lacks components and has very few requirements. According to the<a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/special-abilities#TOC-Supernatural-Abilities-Su-" target="_blank"> special ability text</a>, a Su ability does not provoke attacks of opportunity. Since there are no somatic or verbal components, it is not prohibited by grapple either.Paralysis is a thornier issue and I am not entirely sure what the ruling is on that. I am not sure that there is an official ruling; none was evident to me when I checked quickly. The <a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/conditions#TOC-Paralyzed" target="_blank">paralysis text</a> says that you can take purely mental actions; no physical element is specified under Su abilities or these abilities in particular, so AFAICT the answer is that you can use them while paralyzed. A GM would hardly be unreasonable in reversing that and saying that some modicum of physical action is required.No. The relevant text on Dimensional Agility says "After using abundant step or casting dimension door". Using the shift power is like dimension door, but it is not casting dimension door. That's why they felt the need to list abundant step specifically, even though it is also based off of the spell. The text was probably written this way to prevent these kinds of combinations as they can lead to unforeseen consequences, but if you wanted to houserule it back in you certainly could.</blockquote>
