It is in no way limited to hiding in the shadows. In this mindset the feat I proposed doesn't cheapen stealth at all. It provides a flavor option to a character. Perhaps you are right about granting dark vision without enough cost, though. I'll try to address this as we continue...While noting that the RAW only let background benefits grant one skill bonus, one additional language, one additional skill as a class skill, or a regional benefit, I'm going to go against the grain. Here is the effect in background form:This does not diminish the attraction of original Dragonborn Senses feat  option too greatly, while allowing for specialization with this revision of the "Attuned Dragonborn Senses" feat:To Saeviomagy: Does this seem more reasonable? It is no longer "handing out darkvision for a single feat," due to the prerequisites. To meet the prereqs, the background could first be taken with low-light vision chosen as the benefit. Alternatively, the original Dragonborn Senses feat grants the prereqs to a character who wants to specialize in perception. So even if you rule that dark-vision negates stealth, the build would have required devotion and sacrifice for that advantage.</blockquote>
