As darkness said useing the same logic then darkvision would also negate hide in plain sight, and there is no reason to assume that to be the case.True seeing does not prevent one from useing this ability, it doesnt even negate it, it has no ability to effect hide.SRD:Hide in Plain Sight (Su): A shadowdancer can use the Hide skill even while being observed. As long as she is within 10 feet of some sort of shadow, a shadowdancer can hide herself from view in the open without anything to actually hide behind. She cannot, however, hide in her own shadow.It doesnt matter if the person can see through the shadow, all that the shadowdancer cares about is that there is a shadow.All that this ability does is make the character able to use his hide skill in a very strange circumstance. True seeing does nothing about hide. Nor does being able to see through the shadows have any effect.I will quote you the relevant part.SRD:Hide in Plain Sight (Su): A shadowdancer can use the Hide skill even while being observed.So yes, it is simply hiding. All that this ability does is take away a restriction and replace it with another.Hide in plain sight is simply that, hiding. It grants an ability not many get true, but that is no reason to make true seeing foil it, especially without any reason to based on the spell description.You are simply making this up from your own imagination. Which is fine for your own games, not so good for this forum.All that is needed is for the shadowdancer to have a shadow nearby, who can percieve it is irrelevant, and he can hide. Simple as that.There is nothing explaining exactly what happens, so by the raw true seeing will not effect it. Because true seeing does not effect hiding. All that the hide in plain sight ability lets you do is hide while being observed while there is a shadow nearby. It takes away one restriction and replaces it with another, but it is still just the hide skill that is working here.</blockquote>
