I play a dark elf shadowdancer, who prefers to keep his identity hidden. I thought it would be neat that, instead of wearing a mask like most other dark elves, he used his shadow dancing abilities to create darkness under his hood so that no one could see what he was. However, on the shadowdancer page, it says that...
a Shadowdancer cannot manipulate shadows of objects or people in any way except by what can be done by manipulating light and shadow through normal means. For example, they cannot make a person's shadow move, though they could produce a “shadow play” by casting shadows of their own from some source of light.
This made me think that perhaps this idea would not work, because in order to cast shadows of their own they must cast them from some other source of light. However, as a darkelf, he also has darkness as a spell-like ability. Could dark elven darkness coupled with shadowdancer abilities justify shadowy concealment of his race?
