It takes less light to see, but it does take some kind of light. <BR/><BR/>Clearly infravision does deserve its own post.RipperXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506064393275174920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370162161693557709.post-32773661913418982122008-04-24T04:10:00.000-05:002008-04-24T04:10:00.000-05:00How does infravision work in your world?

All infravision should be heat-based.<BR/><BR/>Which is, however, why they removed it from 3e (replacing it with a more generic darkvision). It always led to silly situations where an elf with infravision kept running into walls or trees, which don't show up on infrared because their heat isn't really different from ambient temperature.Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12920948929584729442noreply@blogger.com
