[QUOTE="Chimera, post: 75168, member: 2002"] In a world where many races live in caverns deep underground and never see the light of day, they probably don't rely on 'light' spells to grow 'surface' plants. That would require too much time and effort, and be outright trouble for some races. Nope. In this sort of world, there would be hundreds and thousands of different varieties of edible fungii, molds, mushrooms and other dark-dwelling plants; none of which would be familiar to us. There would also be all manner of insects and small animals for food as well. IMC (a couple of years ago), upon venturing deep underground to stamp out some Gibberlings that were tunneling up into the lower levels of a hidden settlement, my players stumbled into a vast cavern, some 6-800 feet wide, 2-300 feet tall and over a mile long, stepping down slowly into the distance. The whole thing was dimly lit by several varieties of bio-luminecent molds and fungi and the floor was covered with hundred of varieties of the same, some as big as trees, and many edible. Small creatures they had never seen before darted (or crawled) between the 'plants'. [/QUOTE]
