Message: <blockquote data-quote="Yuan-Ti" data-source="post: 198895" data-attributes="member: 4483">This is why I never liked infravision. In the early days we just didn't use it much (torches ruin it, so if you have humans with your group, you have to split off to use it -- plus, in a dark cave, you would be stumbling over rocks and such), but later we tried. In the end, I prefer low light vision. Elves, dwarves, etc., have vision something more like cats. They can see better and further in the dark than humans. For some magical creatures, it makes sense to just say that a vampire, for example, can see at night as well as a human during the daylight. Anyone know where the idea of infravision for elves and dwarves came from? There is no suggestion of them seeing heat sources in Tolkien.</blockquote>
