[QUOTE="Starglim, post: 1523432, member: 17011"] The Hide in Plain Sight ability has no impact on sniping one way or the other, except that it allows the character to do it in plain sight. If he successfully hides in plain sight, makes an attack, and is still within 10 feet of a shadow other than his own, he can immediately attempt to hide again in that shadow at a -20 penalty. The only problem I see here is that your friend would like to avoid the second Hide check and the -20 penalty. Nothing in the Shadowdancer ability supports that view. The Hide in Plain Sight ability does not mention anything about being a different type of action. It merely alters the requirements to make a Hide check. edit: If the character [I]does[/I] have cover and is unobserved when he hides, the Hide in Plain Sight ability is not required and has no effect. It doesn't change normal hiding into super-hiding. [/QUOTE]
