Unless the object of darkness immunity is to make it so people can see you even with darkness, I suggest removing this from items...when someone uses darkness, and you're wearing one of those items... Every single monster targets you. And you become dead.

Holy lol that is a hilarious thing. It literally makes you unaffected by the darkness so that you are effectively hanging out of the cloud while everyone else it blinded.

I laughed so hard when 100 acid bolts go through my head in under 2 seconds, because I'm the only thing to target. Ha. Ha. Ha

I'm not sure this is a bug so much as that maybe immunity to darkness is not intuitive in how it works and not always understood. As far as I can tell, it means you are (personally) immune not just to the blinding effect but also to the invisibility granted by darkness, making you vulnerable to ranged while in it. (Tested, immunity causes you to remain visible inside it, and allows sight at least to targets outside of it.) Like Gig said, it is like there is a bubble around you without darkness, so to speak. Since a stationary cloud of darkness can cut two ways, immunity to it is a kinda wacky thing. It probably fits better on Lathander style loot rather than Shar or something. Darkness-themed loot makes more sense with a simple n/day ultravision.
