It seems like you're skipping the dimly lit area (which is ok if you want to simplify).RAW there are 2x2 cases: light source available/not available, and characters with/without Darkvision.Light source available:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Within brightly lit area, everybody sees well, no issues</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Within dimly lit area (typically 2x brightly lit area), characters w/o darkvision have disadv on perception, while characters w darkvision treat it like bright lit area. Nobody has disadvantage on attacks here.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Beyond that, characters w/o darkvision are effectively blind, while characters w darkvision have disadv on perception (and can't see colors). This is particularly important because beyond the light's dimly lit area attackers gain advantage on (ranged) attacks against creatures w/o darkvision (and can probably not be targeted or are attacked at disadv anyway)!</li> </ul>Light source not available: as above but without step 1 or 2, depending on the general availability of ambient light.I guess it's probably not used much (surely not at my table), but snuffing out torches or light sources in dark dungeons should be a primary tactic of attackers with darkvision!Edit: I see what you meant, now! As a HR you're skipping the dimly lit step. I didn't understand what you meant by "mistakes by RAW". Sorry!</blockquote>
