[QUOTE="N'raac, post: 6047964, member: 6681948"] While an interesting interpretation, this would seem to require the Shadowdancer to move into the shadow, or move the shadow to him, not just stand in the bright light 10' away from the shadows. Adding the "move into the shadows" requirement, however, I think this would be a great re-definition of the ability, very much in keeping with both the flavour of the Shadowdancer and the Supernatural nature of the ability. Nothing in the description requires the Shadowdancer to move to the area of dim light, although I certainly agree that could be added to better define this ability. The Shadowdancer melts into the shadow as the Ranger melts into the undergrowth, but both must then move to their respective environments to do so. I think your interpretation is quite valid, outside that movement issue, and the alternate clarification could certainly be that the Shadowdancer can call the shadows forth and make his area dimly lit (but not Darkness magic'd) as well. Coming back to the Stealth description, however, I think #2 is covered - once you move behind the tree, you are Concealed. You can now use Stealth to move further from the tree undetected. HiPS means you can effectively "become concealed" before moving behind the tree, or in the course of moving to cover/concealment. [/QUOTE]
