If the party is traveling in the dark, they make sure one or two of them has a light source. Usually one of those at least is the light spell cast on someone's weapon so we know it will be available if combat happens. If it seems they've forgotten I'll remind the group they can't effectively be stealthy if anyone has a light source.If they are trying to be stealthy in the dark, I make sure to make it clear that those without darkvision have to be guided by those that have it, and everyone takes Disadvantage to their Perception. I also like to use the 3e but that you can't discern details in darkvision, so no reading or picking up visual textures. (Serves double duty in better explaining why dwarves and drow light their cities and homes.)In battle, we definitely make sure there are light sources. Thing is, players knowing that illumination is a thing, makes them highly motivated to make sure they always have the light they need. It might require an occasional reminder from me to when we find ourselves in a dungeon or such, but it becomes an immediate priority to make sure no one is fighting blind.They have also made good use of casting light on a pebble and tossing it somewhere to get a look.It's probably just one of the things that I'm visualizing well enough that I don't forget. I have to make a reminder list for other things and still manage to somehow not get reminded by the list in front of me, lol. Guess it's a question about what elements made it into priority DM RAM.</blockquote>
