[QUOTE="evileeyore, post: 177176, member: 1768"] To mouseferatu Then by your logic, unless the [I]animals[/I] in printed adventures include lowlight vision in their stat blocks they don't have it. Except oh yeah, now I remember the MM is cannon...:D _____________________ To Bronn Spellforger So then as "animals" the other Familiars don't get lowlight. Maybe Familiars lose lowlight when they become "magical beasts" and don't get darkvision [I]or[/I] lowlight:rolleyes: ______________________ Bah, what this boils down to is things were one way when the PHB was printed. Then the MM was printed, things changed noone went back to check the PHB. And unlike many I don't consider Monte Cook a God. Don't even get me started there. Everyone makes mistakes. What I want to know is have I missed a ruling written in a d20 book. Did I miss something, and so far the answer is NO. Anyway I broke down and typed out an email to the Sage... maybe I'll hear back. If I do I'll post it here. And the "evidence" I want is an [I]actual[/I] printed rule. If I don't see one eventually I'll assume that I am rightish (about the Editors dropping the ball and not properly listing what they don't get as magical beasts...). Editted to add: Hmmm, i reread my post and it sounds a tad catty. Sorry about that but I can't think of anyway to say it and sound more agreeable. I blame self-teaching myself HTML. It makes me iretable. I hate the teacher:rolleyes: ... [/QUOTE]
