Lately, I've been seeing a lot of people on the boards including a dip into Horizon Walker for the Shifting Planar Mastery ability, allowing you to use a spell-like ability to Dimension Door every 1d4 rounds. However, the wording seems to contradict what most people think:
Shifting (Planar): You have the supernatural ability to use the ever-shifting nature of planes such as Limbo and the Plane of Shadow to travel faster. You instinctively anticipate shifts in the reality of the plane that bring you closer to your destination, giving you the spell-like ability to use dimension door (as the spell cast at your character level) once every 1d4 rounds. You gain a +1 insight bonus on attack and damage rolls against outsiders and elementals native to a shifting plane, such as slaad and shadow mastiffs.
Now, to me, this seems to say that you can use this ability only while on one of these planes, however, many people seem to take this to say that you can use the ability wherever and whenever you want. Opinions? Which is it?
