[QUOTE="Uller, post: 6991535, member: 413"] I didn't "object" to anything Azurewrath said. I shared how I rule and why. Criteria for using PC class features should be clear and concise because otherwise it leads to players feeling like they have to have DM permission to use their cool class features. The rule is pretty clear as written. If the DM designates an area of dim-light/darkness the PC can use it to shadowstep if he or she can see it. Messing around with shadows and light sources is fine and I even left open that maybe that is what the designers intended (RAI). By your standards, any opinion on rules should be caveated with "My houserule is" because the rule on when shadowstep can be used is pretty clear. What might not be so clear is what constitutes dim-light or darkness. That requires a little finesse on the part of the DM. [/QUOTE]
