[QUOTE="Abraxas, post: 6048709, member: 1266"] You do realize how difficult your interpretation makes it to use or even adjudicate this ability right? The simplest way to have it operate, that violates no rules, is to use the rules for light sources as given to determine where dim illumination starts and stops and don't modify it by the observer. The power doesn't care who the observer is. Then you don't have to have a convoluted explanation why a dwarf or elf shadowdancer can use the power but it can't be used on him when under identical lighting conditions. If an intelligent talking cat and I are standing next to a light shining down a long dark hall - of course the point at which I would say it is total darkness is different than where the cat would say it is total darkness - that doesn't change the amount of actual light reaching said point. A device that required x lumens of light to function will cease to function in that hallway regardless of who is looking down that hallway - and if that device can make itself disappear, it will disappear/appear at exactly the same point every time - also regardless of who is looking down that hallway. So, other than that - I give up. You win. Play what you like. [/QUOTE]
