[QUOTE="ClaytonCross, post: 7425699, member: 6880599"] I laugh because my GM read something about this and came prepared to engage the rule and make darkness a scarier place. This was intended to effect me more than most since I am the groups scout. ... Whoever, I am Warlock scout with devil's sight which means perception checks of under 120ft are not effected by darkness AT ALL so he said "ok make your perception check at disadvantage due to limited light and the use of dark vision as you scout." I replied, "I don't have dark vision I have darkvison I am human, but I have devil's sight as a warlock and I see as if in bright light for 120ft also I have Eye's of the eagle and since you specified this is a visual test I have advantage." After him reading the Devil's Sight invocation and the eyes of the eagle magic item description, I roll high (20+) still failed spot the vampire ambush until int was 5ft away moving toward me and it put me in "surprised status" even though I have the alert feat and I am immune to the surprise condition while conscious. I pointed this out, "oh well will let you not be surprised in the future but I am not ret-coning this its already happened" .... all further tests checking for danger since that happened have been investigation, lol. So GMs remember Devil's sight ignores this restraint and is a thing for warlocks and some demons/fiends. [/QUOTE]
