In a Pathfinder campaign that we are currently running in, the DM allows for the conversion of 3.5 feats. We have a player with the Darkstalker feat of which I have its benefits listed below.
When you hide, creatures with blindsense, blindsight, scent, or tremorsense must make a Listen check or a Spot check (whichever DC is higher) to notice you, just as sighted creatures would make Spot checks to detect you. You cannot hide in plain sight unless you have that ability as a class feature. In addition, you can flank creatures that have the all-around vision special quality.
The DM has converted the above into pathfinder into the paragraph below:
When you use the stealth skill, creatures with extra-sensory abilities such as blindsense, blindsight, scent, or tremorsense must make a perception check to notice you, just as a sighted creature would make a perception check to detect you. You cannot hide in plain sight unless you have that ability as a class feature. In addition, you can flank creatures that have the all-around vision special quality.
Touchsight (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/psionics-unleashed/psionic-powers/t/touchsight) is a power that allows a character to ignore/see through invisibility, total darkness, concealment, while also specifically mentioning that the caster does not need to make perception checks to notice creatures.
What I am asking is if the converted darkstalker feat overrides the touchsight power, or if the touchsight power overrides the darkstalker feat. I understand that in the 3.5 version, it specifically only works against the four extra-sensories listed. Having it work, or not work is not an issue at the moment, but as it stands how would you interpret it?
