Ask Wizards: 01/13/2007 (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ask/20070113a&dcmp=ILC-RSSDND)
Q: A human assassin sneaks into a nobleman's bedroom. Because the room is illuminated only by moonlight shining in the window, the assassin has concealment, and thus can hide. Then the nobleman enters (and fails his Spot check to notice the assassin), and the assassin prepares to strike him down with sneak attack... but wait! Doesn't the noble gain concealment from the darkness too? Doesn't that mean the assassin can't use sneak attack against him? So now what are all those poor human assassins lurking in dark alleys and bedrooms across the realms supposed to do?
