[QUOTE="DrSpunj, post: 88385, member: 994"] [b]Okay...[/b] While I'm more than happy to provide a thread for everyone to increase their post-count, I do have a couple more questions :). I agree with everything that has (once corrected) been posted and happily it all agrees with the conclusions a fellow player and I had about things so far. The situation we were trying to figure out was this: My 7th level Cleric had a Light orison going and always has a Continual Flame on his helmet (think spelunker, I'm a cleric of Pelor in the underdark, go figure). We met up with some Yuan-ti, one of which quickly cast Deeper Darkness. On the following round I cast Daylight (Cleric version, of course, so 3rd level). As my friend and I understand things, the Deeper Darkness would have suppressed (but not dispelled) both the Light orison and the Continual Flame on my helmet. Once I had cast Daylight (for effect, not for counter) the areas of overlap between Deeper Darkness and Daylight returned to their "prevailing light conditions" which would mean both the Light orison and my Continual Flame helmet provide light again, and will continue to do so along as they remain in the overlap of the Daylight spell where they are "protected". More questions: 1) Do you agree with the above assessment? 2) Since Light, Darkness, Deeper Darkness and Daylight all have a range of touch, could you cast them to counter an opposite at anything beyond Touch range? 3) Does the level of Daylight matter? It can be cast as a 2nd level spell by Bards and Sor/Wiz but is a 3rd level spell for Clerics. Would a 2nd level Daylight cast by a Bard or Sor/Wiz fare the same, better or worse against a Deeper Darkness spell (which is always 3rd level)? 4) With the above scenario, would the Yuan-ti casting a second Deeper Darkness have any effect on my cleric's Daylight? I would think no since "similar effects don't stack" but my DM seemed to think that the first Deeper Darkness would negate the effect of my Daylight, and the second would therefore recover the full area with magical darkness. I'm sure I have a couple left about this topic, but answers to these questions may answer them as well. Thanks for the response so far. DrSpunj [/QUOTE]
