[QUOTE="Grendel, post: 26852, member: 1350"] I like to fall back on the stacking rules in situations like this. Magical light does not stack, the most powerful source (in the area) takes presidence. Even if the darkness is "negated temporarily" the light and darkness source are still surpressing other light and darkness sources in the area. This rule came up out of nessessity rather than a logical conclusion. Back in the good ole 2e days, our party would combat drow in the underdark, their favorite tactic was blanket the area in darkness, our favorite tactic was to produce litterally hundreds of objects with continual light cast on them, ultimately whover had the most won. This was such a silly and ridiculous situation that we decided that a single darkness with surpress an number of light stones, and vise-versa. That rule has carried over to the 3e and worked just fine for us. It makes a good reason to hang onto mundane light sources and forgoe the magical crutch of everburing armor. [/QUOTE]
