[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8574084, member: 6987520"] When finished I hope you will check out our 5E MOD. Most races have lost darkvision and it makes the game much more interesting. In our last session, the party was losing to goblins and had to flee. Two members went ahead, but lacked darkvision (one was a gnome) so their speed was half and the goblins harassed them easily. Fortunately for the gnome, his [I]sanctuary[/I] spell kept him safe enough, but the human was killed by the goblins. The half-orc (who picked up their light) also managed to escape, joining the gnome (so he could see!). BUT part of this is also nerfing light and other cantrips which allows "always on" light sources. So, produce flame, light, and dancing light as now 1st level spells. Continual flame remains the only "always on" light source, but they don't have it yet. Yep. This too. In fact, we've removed Sorcerer (folding metamagic into Wizards), made Bards and Warlocks into half-casters, and Paladins and Rangers are being retooled as 1/3-casters akin to Eldritch Knight (they will in fact become subclasses of Fighter in the process).
