Question: Whats the benefit from Darkvision now?

[KKDragonLord]

Now that everyone needs some light to see, even orcs, whats the great deal about seeing in pitch black conditions?

How effective is Low light really? Is it normal vision with just starlight? A single torch enough to lighten a big chamber in a cave?

One of my players is a Deep Halfling and i allowed him to keep his darkvision taking away his bonuses for thievery acrobatics and +5 vs fear
replacing it with just some Dungeoneering bonuses

Now i need some help to figure out how to play out his benefit

errrr.....what is your question, exactly?

Monsters have darkvision so monster lairs will not have any light. A party approaching with torches will most likely alert the monster, while the deep halfling approaching with darkvision will be less likely to alert the monster.
