Hide in Plain Sight (Su)
A shadowdancer can use the Stealth skill even while being observed. As long as she is within 10 feet of an area of dim light, a shadowdancer can hide herself from view in the open without anything to actually hide behind. She cannot, however, hide in her own shadow.
Ok this is how I’m reading this, and also seen it mention in some post as such (I could be wrong). A shadowdancer can hide in plain sight wile been observed period (as long as there is cover and stuff). But if there is nothing around he needs dim light to hide with nothing to actually hide behind of.
Sorry if this has been answered before but I can't find a stray up yes or no, by the way I'm playing in organised society play.
Basically as long as there are shadows nearby he can hide. He doesn't need cover and he can do it while being watched.

I understand that bit, but can he use his stealth skill even while been observed with NO dim light around and just hide behind something, or do I need to first to a bluff check as normal stealth checks require?

It seems to me those three sentences belong together and are describing one, single ability. So no, a Shadowdancer can not HiPS when there's no shadow nearby.
But that's just my interpretation.
Oh if there's no dm light he can t hide in plain sight at all. The power has specific requirements you can only use it when they are met. Actual areas without shadows are rare though.

So shadows qualify as areas of dim light? well I was playing The Golemwork's Incident and keep asking my GM about light conditions and his answered was normal light, I don't want to argue too much here but if the illumination of the place is done by candle then there should be shadows and as a small creature there should be shadows big enough for me. That is ,once again, if shadows qualify as areas of dim light, if this is the case does this come from common sense or can you tell me in what book this is in.
Well it seems to imply any shadow is suitable otherwise it would not need to clarify your own shadow is an exception.
