It fails to explain the ability, and only lists some mechanics, which are - obviously - not able to cover every situation.That's about the same I am proposing... just that I do not go to lengths to say, that it is darkness, yet no darkness, that it is an illusion, yet no illusion. I just take it for what it is, a shadow/darkness effect created by magic.That to me is the most simple and most straightforward explanation, which is consistent with the RAW (filling in some blanks, of course)."A shadowdancer can use the Hide skill even while being observed." Check!"As long as she is within 10 feet of some sort of shadow, ..." Check!"...a shadowdancer can hide herself from view in the open..." Check!"...without anything to actually hide behind." Check!(Note: That "anything to actually hide behind" is created by the ability, so does not have to be present. Not even a shadowdancer can actually hide with nothing to hide behind... it's just, that no external condition (other than proximity to shadow), i.e. concealment, is needed, the shadowdancer brings his own.)"She cannot, however, hide in her own shadow." Check!True Seeing neither lists HiPS in the example list of things it does see through, nor in the example list of things it does not see through, so we can choose. I choose "yes".Well, even then I would say True Seeing works, since it pierces any kind of darkness, and this includes any kind of shadow, mundane and magical (and also any kind of concealment granted from that, obviously).I would agree with you, if the ability would create some kind of physical object (it might, for all we know), then True Seeing would not work.But that's not stated, so is as much a guess as anything else.ByeThanee</blockquote>
