Darkness

Ultravision doesn't seem to work. We were in the goblin camp, a bard casted darkness on goblins, I used a charge from the lesser explorer helm and went in, but goblins still got 50% concealment.

Not to mention how the archers kept shooting from within the darkness, even if they were not supposed to see anything... :roll:

Darkness was being abused. It was then changed.

  1. Darkness no longer blocks line of sight.
  2. It provides everyone within the area with a 20% concealment.
  3. Ultravision no longer sees through Darkness.

They can still shoot you because instead of dropping a pure globe of darkness around you, what you are doing in increasing the shadows in the area until its somewhat harder to locate -exactly- where your enemy is. You can still see them in Darkness.

So this is not a bug. What is a Issue however, is the following: The information above was not added to the main web page that is responsible for listing mechanic changes to spells.

There was an announcement about this a few months ago. But yes, the site page in question hasn't been updated in well over a year. Possibly over two years.

Which is why the FAQ, which does list this change, is described as the most up-to-date list.
