Message: <blockquote data-quote="FireLance" data-source="post: 1380742" data-attributes="member: 3424">Like Abraxus said, it's just a way of limiting the SD's ability.  Think of it as a Focus component, although Supernatural abilities usually don't have Foci.That said, I find that clause to be a little vague.  Surely as long as there is *something* within 10 feet, there's going to be *some* kind of shadow.  There's not even the constraint that the shadow must be big enough for the SD to hide in (not in the SRD, at any rate).I might decide to interpret it to mean that the SD can HiPS as long as she is within 10 feet of a 5-foot square with shadowy illumination.  This means a SD can skirt the edges of a patch of bright light, but coming too close to the center would negate her ability.And, the Darkvision thing.  My ruling is that Darkvision negates concealment due to darkness to the limit of its range.  Normally, this prevents a creature from hiding unless it is invisible, has cover, or has concealment from another source (e.g. fog).  However, since a SD can Hide without needing concealment, she can HiPS even from a creature with Darkvision.</blockquote>
