Gray Orc - Darkvision?

[ControlFreak]

In the Unapproachable East book, page 16, it covers the details of the Gray Orcs. I noticed that according to that, Gray Orcs have Light Sensitivity, but no Low-Light Vision or Darkvision. Has anyone seen any type of errata on that, or is it actually correct?

Good pick up, particularly as Races of Faerun (where they were first introduced, IIRC) doesn't list darkvision either, although it does for the mountain orcs. I wonder if this is correct or just a WotC oversight?

It would be...

the orst of both worlds for them if they were sensitive to sunlight, but didn't get any help in the dark (and a little counterintuitive also). I would think, since orcs have darkvision in general, that they would have darkvision also.

I'm putting in Darkvision 60' for now, but I really wish WotC would clarify that. As pbd said, being sensitive to sunlight but not being able to see in darkness would seem to be a pretty miserable existence.

If you go to the WotC boards, in the main FR section there's an ask Richard Baker thread where people ask him errata type questions, you could try asking there and see what he says.

I'll give that a shot.

[font=verdana, arial, helvetica]The gray orcs should have darkvision, 60 ft. range.

Thanks,
