Infravision was explained with science and look what happened with that mess. If they tried to explain Darkvision then armchair physicists would start interprieting in crazy ways that it was never intended to work. It just lets you see in the dark, and what you see is in black and white. Nothing more, nothing less. Even with that, there are lots of debates over ruling various situations with it, which I'm not going to be held responsible for bringing up, I already inadvertantly opened a can of worms in this thread once! *hits head against wall*In any case, there is only one situation with Darkvision and HiPS which can hinder the character with HiPS. If you rule that you can't see shadows with Darkvision, then it becomes difficult for the dwarvish shadowdancer to know if he can use HiPS sometimes. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
