It's easy not to forget about the obvious cases, such as when someone/something is invisible or trying to hide and sneak, as well as taking into account cover and other physical concealment that might obscure vision (fog, foliage...). What I keep forgetting, is to handle regular areas of bright light vs dim light vs darkness. I would really like to make light sources ranges matter, but most of the time I just end up assuming that if one PC has any light source, then everyone can basically see a whole dungeon room at once.Note that I play exclusively in person, so I don't have the aid of "fog of war" features from a VTT.How precisely do you enforce illumination rules in your games, and how do you manage to keep everything in mind?</blockquote>
