Hi All,

Can I please ask for some opinions on what the Shadow Veil does, specifically?

It's found on page 133 of the Magic Item Compendium, or an old version lives on page 76 of Libris Mortis.

The text says that "while in shadowy areas" or "in shadow", you gain concealment. What would your interpretation of "shadow" be?

An unlit cave? Inside a building? The other side of a tree from the sun's light?

Given that +1 Deflection AC is worth 2000gp in an item, that leaves 14000gp in the cost to justify for MIC's version. Personally I feel that the cost was supposed to come *down* from 10,000 to 4,000 when MIC was released - the only item change was a drop from +2 deflection to +1, worth 6,000gp, the same amount it *increased* by. And everyone's just ignored it for whatever reason...

Edit, for clarity: I'm talking about 3.5 Edition (or 3.0 if you must) rules here...
