The Shadowdancer’s hide in plain sight can only be used while within 10’ of dim light. My question is how to determine the lighting condition where darkvision is concerned. As I see it there is no dim light within the range of a creature’s darkvision and as such the shadowdancer can only use this ability while within 10’ of the edge of this vision and if they move any closer they are seen unless there is some sort of cover or concealment.
Does the dim light area depend on the perception of the lighting of the one making the perception check or on the one trying to use stealth? Should a racial ability so common make such an ability this difficult to use?
Seems simple enough but I would appreciate any constructive input.
