I have a player who is interested in using Lock Gaze and the shadowdancer Hide in Plain Sight feature to hinder opponents while remaining hidden from the target of the spell.

His point of view is that they will be forced to look at him but will not recognize his presence where they are looking (in the way that camouflage can work). It's creative but I'm not sure if that's RAI, so I'm looking at RAW.

Since the spell says that the effect ends once your line of sight to the target or the target's line of sight to you is broken, I think it comes down to the question in the subject: Does hiding block line of sight for observers?

This post (and thread) asks that question, with no direct response. I'm inclined to agree that it does break line of sight (but not necessarily line of effect) from any observers who fail vs. the stealth check.

I am playing in a session with a group on the larger side - a group of 6 players. The GM is offering opportunities for the players to play in bonus sessions between the regular biweekly sessions for xp, in small groups or solo. He insists that he will keep an eye on the xp levels and will keep people from getting too far ahead from the group.

But, I feel like it's going to hurt the group's camaraderie and make players that don't do these bonus sessions feel like they are secondary characters. Has anyone been in a group that did this? If so, did you do the bonus sessions? Also, was it fun for you?
