It alters ambient conditions for you, like making darkness/shadows (especially magical) irrelevant for your sight.Therefore, in relation to yourself, the ambient condition of shadow is negated, yet the shadowdancer needs it to hide from you...Sure, the shadowdancer can still hide, the shadow is still there, after all... and everyone else won't see him even... but for you, there is nothing which allows him to hide from your sight, because True Seeing negates these ambient conditions for you.Now, this is obviously not, what you meant... you meant, that the shadow is still there, altho you cannot see it, and the shadowdancer is still within 10 feet of a shadow and thus can still hide. Yes, he can, it just doesn't affect you.You will see him exactly as he really is, without any magic or shadow to hide behind (note: behind is not meant as the physical behind, which refers to your position in relation to something, it's also not the same as "in"), because that's what True Seeing does, it let's you see all things as they really are.ByeThanee</blockquote>
