Darkmantles and the WLD

[JiffyPopTart]

So I am getting ready (foolishly?) to begin running the World's Largest Dungeon next week. So I am brushing up on Darkmantles.

Double checking the rules for the "new" Darkness spell and the Blind-Sight feat I come up with this combo...

1. Darkmantles can move 3/4 speed in the dark, while normal folks only move 1/2.
2. Darkmantles AND normal folks have a 20% miss chance, but the Darkmantles can re-roll if they fail (which comes out to be 1 in 20 chance of missing to save me some rolling).

Am I missing something or do I have it all down?

unless they errata'd it, in a pitch black room, Darkness creates a radius of shadowy illumination for seeing in

Yeah. Darkness doesn't actually make things dark--it creates "shadowy illumination," the same that a candle or dim lamp is described as doing elsewhere. Try blacklight, which creates "an area of total darkness," 20-foot radius. Sor/Wiz 3, Darkness domain 3.
