If I understand this correctly the Shadowdancer CAN use Shadow Jump in an allies shadow travel to an enemies' shadow ( within Shadow Jump range)  and appear hidden in an enemies' shadow ( using HiPS).  The Shadowdancer wouldn't be able to immediately attack though cause Dimension Door prevents actions until next turn.  Remember Shadow Jump works just like a Dimension Door spell.Hope that help.I actually have a question based on this.  If you hear Character A hiding in my first example and B turns to discern their location, is a effectively invisible or not?</blockquote>
