Darkvision vs. Penumbral Disguise (and other similar abilities)


Rules Questions


Did a search and didn't find anything (albeit a quick one at about 2:00 AM), and was wondering if anyone could help me out on a sticky wicket I'm trying to figure out.

Namely, does a bonus to your stealth gained from Penumbral Disguise, Cloak of Shadows, and other similar abilities actually grant you those bonuses against creatures with Darkvision? I know Deeper Darkness specifically mentions that darkvision does not penetrate it, but what about effects like these?


Related: Shadowdancers can Hide in plain sight even from creatures with darkvision.

Basically, Darkvision can only bypass an ability if it's explicitly mentioned to do so. I'd think that applies to spell effects, too.
