[QUOTE="Eltab, post: 7968085, member: 6803337"] As a DM, I pulled out "can you see in the dark?" when the PCs first went into an unlit dungeon, to get them thinking about two hands and sword / shield / torch / component pouch - aha [I]Light[/I] cantrip*! The next dark place I just asked "Can you see...?" and they said "We'll do like last time." (My goal was to get them - and me - familiar with the rules for visibility. Not cheat them into a sticky trap.) I am going to run a Dark Sun campaign; for the first trip away from the cities, encumbrance and supplies will be a big deal. Once the players have a feel for what they can normally carry, I'll let it drop to background prep. Again, because I want all of us to have some experience using those rules, not to trap them in the desert with no water. * and Darkvision. Characters with darkvision don't have to worry about torches so much. [/QUOTE]
