(There might be some rules later on for just swinging/shooting randomly into a direction, although I don't think we need this, the DM can make it up).Pinpointing takes an action (see "Attacking an Unseen Target" in Combat chapter, How to Play document) and a successful Wis/Perception check (see "Perception" in exploration chapter, same doc), which means you're both attacking less frequently, which means on everage they're definitely not hitting each other as much as in daylight. And guess what happens as soon as one of the two take a movement action? They have to pinpoint each other again!The only case when it is almost the same as in daylight, is if the two opponents are never moving, and only after a few rounds anyway (until they made their Perception checks). If they want to do that, well... it's up to them. But I think that the one of them who notices he's getting beaten up is definitely going to try and move away from such position.</blockquote>
