HiPS vs special senses?
If I've ogt Hide in Plain Sight, does my Hide skill help against say...a dragon's blindsight? Or another creature's tremorsense, or scent, or any other special ability to detect creatures? Or does Hide only work against things with eyes?

Only works against the standard vision types unless you have the Darkstalker Feat from Lords of Madness.

Hide is opposed by spot checks; unless otherwise specified, hide doesn't work against things that don't require spot checks at all.

Re: HiPS vs special senses?
I'm at work and I can't check my books right now, but does Darkstalker negate ALL the special senses?

That posted - it doesn't negate Mindsight feat.

Re: HiPS vs special senses?
It negates blindsense, blindsight, scent, and tremorsense. Others are not named.
A Dread Wraith could still sense you with lifesense, some other undead with similar powers too. There could exist other weird and rare senses that can help against Darkstalker but I don't know any more atm.
Edit: Ah, yes, forgot about Mindsight.Last edited by Amiria; 2007-12-18 at 06:11 PM.

Re: HiPS vs special senses?
Undead aren't really a big concern, as the 1st level spell Hide from Undead will prevent Extraordinary or Supernatural senses of undead from working where the target of this spell concerned. (Lifesense is a supernatural sensory capability.)
Mindsight is a problem without such an easy solution.
