Salve a tutti!

Ho alcuni dubbi sull'abilità Shadow Blend della creatura Shadow Mastiff:

Spoiler:

This creature has the body of a large dog, with a smooth black coat and a mouth full of sharp teeth.

A shadow mastiff is slightly more than 2 feet high at the shoulder and weighs about 200 pounds.

Shadow mastiffs cannot speak, but they understand Common.

COMBAT

Shadow mastiffs prefer fighting in shadows or dark conditions, which gives them a great advantage. If a magical light source negates the shadows around them, shadow mastiffs are cunning enough to either move out of the light or back off and break up the opposition with their baying. They have been known to seize and carry off items enspelled with daylight spells.

Bay (Su): When a shadow mastiff howls or barks, all creatures except evil outsiders within a 300-foot spread must succeed on a DC 13 Will save or become panicked for 2d4 rounds. This is a sonic mind-affecting fear effect. Whether or not the save is successful, an affected creature is immune to the same mastiff ’s bay for 24 hours. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Trip (Ex): A shadow mastiff that hits with its bite attack can attempt to trip the opponent as a free action (+3 check modifier) without making a touch attack or provoking an attack of opportunity. If the attempt fails, the opponent cannot react to trip the shadow mastiff.

Shadow Blend (Su): In any condition of illumination other than full daylight, a shadow mastiff can disappear into the shadows, giving it total concealment. Artificial illumination, even a light or continual flame spell, does not negate this ability. A daylight spell, however, will.

Skills: *A shadow mastiff has a +4 racial bonus on Survival checks when tracking by scent.

L'abilità recita:

Se lo Shadow Mastiff attacca, la casella in cui si trova diventa nota?

Credo di sì, ma nonostante questo, apparentemente (da quel che si evince dalle regole) ha ancora il 50% di probabilità di essere mancato, come se fosse invisibile.

Oppure, nel momento in cui attacca, l'effetto di total concealment termina?

Grazie per il vostro aiuto!

Guarda,secondo me e ripeto,SECONDO ME l'occultamento non termina quando attacchi.Semplicemente perchè non è un'invisibiltà ma è un occultamento e quindi l'avversario ha sempre il 50% che l'attacco non vada a buon fine,in qualunque casella si trovi lo Shadow Mastiff.

Quando attacchi la casella diventa nota ma non dovresti comunque perdere l'occultamento.

Comunque non ne ho la certezza assoluta,potrei tranquillamente sbagliarmi.E se ho sbagliata correggetemi.

Ciau ^^

Grazie per la risposta!

Anche andando a rileggere le regole, la tua teoria mi sembra sensata. A questo punto, gli Shadow Mastiff (e in generale, qualsiasi creatura con il template Shadow Creature del manuale Lords of Madness) diventano avversari abbastanza ostici, a meno di non usare magie o proprietà che ignorino l'occultamento.
