Shadow Walker Archetype question


Rules Questions


So I have a question about the wording involving the favored illumination ability. It states that you can take 10 on ANY stealth roll while within the chosen illumination level, does this mean even while in combat?

Favored Illumination (Su)

At 4th level, a shadow walker chooses one illumination level: bright light, normal light, dim light, or darkness (including supernatural darkness). While she is within her chosen illumination level, she gains a +2 bonus on initiative checks and Acrobatics, Perception, and Sleight of Hand skill checks, and can take 10 on any Stealth check attempted within that illumination level.

It sure sounds like you are correct. Have you checked the errata and Additional Resources?

Edit: It is from Blood of Shadows, which is not up on Archives of Nethys yet. The Campaign Clarifications and Additional Resources look good for it, with no changes.

This thread has some helpful advice for working with a party.

Nothing is stated other than being legal for PFS use.

You can take 10 on your Stealth check in your chosen light level, but that wording doesn't allow you to attempt a Stealth check if you aren't otherwise able to. So you still need concealment or a distraction. (Or something like Hide in Plain Sight.)
