Message: <blockquote data-quote="DEFCON 1" data-source="post: 9621728" data-attributes="member: 7006">This is a good point, but is also probably the reason other players might argue the point-- how many DMs actually spend their monster actions snuffing out torches/lanterns or dispelling light cantrips?  Some probably do, others probably don't... which is why the "party darkvision" question always seems to be so divisive.  The PCs being stuck in completely darkness (even in a horror game) might only be used as a trope by certain DMs (for whom the trope gets screwed up by too much available darkvision) but if other DMs don't use the darkness trope that often... having PCs with all with darkvision and/or light sources don't really matter.  So the need to snuff light out or worry about darkvision was never really on the table to begin with.But this subclass is definitely one where a DM should exercise their rights to include or not include it if their particular style of DMing would make it too powerful.  Or as [USER=6801209]@mellored[/USER] suggested, reducing the power of some of the abilities to make it more manageable.  So hopefully [USER=50987]@CleverNickName[/USER] can pass this thread onto their DM so that they can see what they might be up against and how much it may or may not interfere with their particular playstyle for a Strahd game.</blockquote>
