Broken HiPS?

[Sejs]

Aha, thank you Iku.

Yeah, I'd say that the Shadow Blur ability constitutes 'your own shadow' and thus wouldn't qualify for HiPS.

I'm with Iku Rex. Shadow blur only works in shadow (or total darkness) anyway, so anytime you're shadow blurred you'd also be able to hide in plain sight.

All this nonsense about it being "your own shadow" or not is irrelevant.

 

[Patryn of Elvenshae]

I'm with Peter and Iku and Sejs.

Lemmee'splain.

The places where Shadow Blur work are, generally speaking, a subset of the places where Hide in Plain Sight work.

Thus, you can't use Shadow Blur to qualify to HiPS, but you won't ever need to, since you'd've already qualified by virtue of being where you are.

Hey, that's what you get for a partial quote.

[Thanee]

It's not like you couldn't use HiPS just about anywhere, anyways, already.

They mean they cannot hide in shadows cast by light shining on them. This is an effect that seems to conjure shadows in an emination centered on you. Its not "your shadow" in the sense that its a shadow created by your physical presense in the normal way, merely in the sense that it "belongs" to you. However, so would wearing an item that eminates the darkness spell.
