Hide in Plain Sight (Ranger)

Seems this has been updated recently. As it describes, I assume this only suppose to work in 'wilderness' settings. Forests and above ground?

Thanks.

To my knowledge the feat has not been updated recently. Ranger HiPS always had some limitations compared to the vanilla one. Maybe the IG description changed to avoid confusion.

As it describes, rangers can only use HiPS is certain areas which have natural surroundings, i.e. forests, swamps, meadows. Generally speaking, it can be used in most outdoor / rural areas. It should also work in natural caves and other areas under ground.

I've tried it a few times with Gumbo with no buffs and he always gets noticed.  He has better luck in the same areas when he buffs up his hide and ms.  But the unbuffed hips should ( if working) give the same or better results.  IMO its bugged.

Does Light effects from items or the Light spell have any adverse effect on Ranger HIPS?
