Any limitation that can be mitigated easily by PC action isn't much of one - 'only at night' is a limitation only if you're forced to fight during the day. There are a few instances where fighting during the day is helpful for PCs, but most of them are more easily gained by use of a Daylight spell rather than use of actual daylight. It'd be more common for daylight to be required due to the PCs not being able to choose when to engage the enemy, such as because they are the defenders rather than the attackers (random encounter tables, defending a fort, attempted assassinations in the middle of a court appearance, etc).Most of the time, PCs can choose the timing of their combats - they usually determine when to assault the dungeon, for instance. I'd still say that, for a 'generic' campaign, the 'Night Only' limitation is enough to qualify it for a one-level Rarity decrease.Verdict: Uncommon.</blockquote>
