Dark Vision isn't magical...it allows you, like any other nocturnal creature, to see in the dark. To a certain extent. The prob is, bright lights bother you, and should always bother you, your eyes arn't made to go from bright to dark...think of a whild animal who can see in the dark. They live in caves and w/n, and if you were to flash a light in their eyes, they'd prob be pissed and run away to await for the haze to wear off.The reason why most creatures have hide, when they also have Dark Vision is because many creatures in such places also have sonic hearing, like bats. So moving slowly is also a natural thing. Also, most creatures in caves and w/n are ambush predators...so sneaking is a good thing.Yes, Camaflauge works against Dark Vision, why, becasue it, just like normal camo, doesn't make it so that they can't be seen, it makes it so that they don't stand out in their surrounding. Ex: I look into a patch of trees, the hunter is there, by my eye just doesn't pick him out amongst the green's and brown's. If you hide in the dark, you are still hiding and using the area's natural materials for cover, so, in a cave, you'd look like a pile of rocks, or a wall of mud or w/e.I wouldn't say that Dark Vision is black and white *maybe said that way in book, but I've not played it that way.* A human, at night, can still see color, however, it is harder to tell shades and tones as distance and the lack of light effect the eye. Dark Vision, allows simply those limitations to be extended....yet, its not perfect. Just beyond the Dark Vision's reach, the creature or character is just as blind as you. Think of a flash light, you can only see what your shining the light on....what's beyond, is still pitch darkness.Hope that helps.*My side notes*Dark Vision is almost retarded now, its used and given out to too many things. As a background, for creatures in an specific area, thats fine, but if you're above ground...you shouldn't naturaly have it. It wouldn't have just evolved in you. If you have it, you should be covering your eyes when above ground, if not...you should be almost blind. And, when flashed in the face with a light spell, should be like the retnal version of being kicked in the nuts.Just some thoughts.Game On</blockquote>
