I understand how this feature works mechanically but was wondering what people thought about how it works from our characters point of view.
How do you deal with it in your games?
Do gloom stalkers undergo some sort of special training that allows them to control their bodies in such a way that that dark vision no longer works on them? Can they, therefore, turn it off and on, this would be helpful when having to interact with the rest of the part in the Underdark.
Was some sort of ritual version of the invisibility spell cast on them? Could dispel magic disrupt this spell why/why not?
Are some people just born invisible to those with dark vision and are taken aside and trained as a Gloom Stalker?
I'd rule it as they learn how to manipulate magic in a way that makes them invisible to creatures with darkvision in darkness. The ability doesn't say it's magical, so Detect Magic or Dispel Magic can't be used on it in any way.

Is it some sort of combination of these
Would love to know what you think.
