| Welcome to Imythess, the border between dreams and reality. We hope you enjoy your visit. Imythess is a creative writing board where you narrate the story of a character in the medieval land of Imythess, on the planet Chaon. Each topic is an opportunity for your character to interact with the world and its peoples by cooperatively writing pieces of a story with other members, one post at a time. We call this role-playing, because you assume the identity of your character as if it were your own. In order to play, you must register an account for each character you would like to write about, and begin their tale by filling out their basic profile information: Race (human, elf, demon, etc.), class (warrior, mage, etc.), physical appearance, and any other personal details you would like to describe. You are also encouraged to come up with some background history information for what your character's life has been like up to the point at which their story in Imythess begins. There is no approval process or application required to join, so long as you follow the rules then you are free to write whatever character details you choose. Registration is simple, fast, and completely free. Create a character now! If you're already a member, you can log into your account below: |

" Detection Dampening: Shadowdancers can no longer be detected by magical means." This is a line in the Shadowdancer PrC, and for clarification,would the ability block magical effects present on the SD from detected by the spell detect magic only, or would it include spells cast by the SD, making them undetectable as well? I just want some clarification for future references. There is a link to the prc in question in my signature. |

I think it refers to spells used to find you specifically, or even if you are there. Therefore, people can't cast around with Detect Magic, Detect Life, Detect Alignment, or even Shan's attempts to use magical echolocation for they would all fail because they're magical means to find you. However, you'd still be vulnerable to someone skilled in nonmagical tracking, able to smell you, or any other mundane sense. It just means that, according to locating magic, you don't exist. Just my interpretation, of course. Feel free to weigh in, anyone else. Edited by Bloodknight, Wed Mar 5, 2014 2:53 am.

I think Shan's got it right. |

That's what I thought, but I got curious as to what others gathered from it. Basically, ya can't find me whatsoever with magic because of detection dampening. |

Yup, but it won't stop a fireball if it's heading into the darkened corner you happen to be hiding in. But at least that means a mage would have to fire them at random to hit you. =D |

Because this has been brought up, the Symbiote that gives Echolocation would still be able to sense a SD with this ability, yeah? I always considered the Symbiote's connection and abilities to be physical and mundane, even though it's an extra-planar creature. |

Hmmm, that is another question. Since the symbiote itself is considered a part of the host, is it a physical part and, thus, not affected by "magical" rules, though it comes from a plane of magic? I think that might be worthy of a question itself. Not sure what the answer might be but, for the sake of the symbiote caught in an anti-magic field, I hope it's "yes." |

Symbiote echolocation is a physical augmentation of the wielder's abilities and is thus non-magical means of detection, like sight. Same goes for the Miner's Graft and similar items/abilities. |
