Message: <blockquote data-quote="Thanee" data-source="post: 1944493" data-attributes="member: 478">One question... would you allow a medium-sized ranger to hide on a huge 1"-high grass area (he's not wearing appropriate camo-clothing and the area is completely flat) while surrounded by a horde of people who watch him?By the rules he can do that. And if noone makes a Spot check against his Hide check, noone will know where he is.It's quite obviously completely ridiculous, that he can do that. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />That's about the same with the shadowdancer... unless you interprete the ability in some way like the way I have explained above, which in turn leads me to the conclusion that True Seeing will foil that ability, the shadowdancer's hiding ability is just plain ridiculous and humanly (or nonhumanly <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />) impossible.Therefore (to me) it can only be the magic, which hides the shadowdancer, not the skill. The skill is just used as a mechanic, but the actual hiding is done with magic, because there is otherwise no way to hide.Don't know about you, but to me the ability is first and foremost a supernatural ability (just what it is, at least it is labeled as that), not a skill. It only makes use of a skill as a mechanical tool.ByeThanee</blockquote>
