Hey, I'm talking to a player about one of their relic abilities, encompassing darkness. Does this ability (which i would link, but its not up on nethys yet) allow other people to remove items from their shadow? it states that someone could find the objects if they know to check the shadow.
It also states that "you" can stow remove objects like a mundane container using an interact action. He's interpreting that as the source of the ability to interact with his shadow in that way, but the bit about the mundane container makes me question if other people could pull things out of his shadow if they know about it, in which case the you would be generic.
I'm imagining him being knocked out and imprisoned, does the encompassing darkness give him a means to keep a weapon on him no matter what, even if the guards notice it?
Can you provide the text? I can't find this.

ENCOMPASSING DARKNESSMINOR GIFT
CONJURATION SHADOW
Aspect shadowThe shadows at your feet can hold objects. You can Interact with your shadow to store or remove objects, just like you would a mundane container. Your shadow can contain 3 Bulk of objects, which don’t count toward the Bulk you are carrying. At 6th level, and every 4 levels thereafter, you can store 1 additional Bulk of objects in your shadow. While the items are in your shadow and can be detected normally, you gain a +4 circumstance bonus to Stealth checks to Conceal the Objects unless someone knows to check your shadow for items.
I'd say they can be removed by others if you let them. Hostile creatures would have to use Thievery though.
I gotta say, the fact that every one of the Shadow Boons can be negated by a Darkness Spell makes them pretty underwhelming IMO.
