| − | ==Vision and Light==
| |
| − | The most fundamental tasks of adventuring—noticing danger, finding hidden objects, hitting an enemy in combat, and targeting a spell, to name just a few—rely heavily on a character's ability to see. Darkness and other effects that obscure vision can prove a significant hindrance.

| |
| − | Obstacles can provide cover during combat, making a target more difficult to harm.

| |
| − | ;Heavily obscured: An area—such as [[#darkness|darkness]], opaque fog, or dense foliage—blocks vision entirely. A creature in a heavily obscured area effectively suffers from the [[#Blinded|blinded]] condition.

| − | ===Light===
| |
| − | <span id="bright light"></span><span id="dim light"></span><span id="darkness"></span>
| |
| − | The presence or absence of light in an environment creates three categories of illumination: bright light, dim light, and darkness.
| |
| − | {{statblock|
| |
| − | ;Bright light: Lets most creatures see normally. Even gloomy days provide bright light, as do torches, lanterns, fires, and other sources of illumination within a specific radius.
| |
| − | ;Dim light: Also called shadows, creates a [[#lightly_obscured|lightly obscured]] area. An area of dim light is usually a boundary between a source of bright light, such as a torch, and surrounding darkness. The soft light of twilight and dawn also counts as dim light. A particularly brilliant full moon might bathe the land in dim light.
| |
| − | ;Darkness: Creates a [[#heavily_obscured|heavily obscured]] area. Characters face darkness outdoors at night (even most moonlit nights), within the confines of an unlit dungeon or a subterranean vault, or in an area of magical darkness.

| − | ====Blindsight====
| |
| − | A creature with blindsight can perceive its surroundings without relying on sight, within a specific radius. Creatures without eyes, such as oozes, and creatures with echolocation or heightened senses, such as bats and true dragons, have this sense.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Darkvison====
| |
| − | Many creatures in the worlds of D&D, especially those that dwell underground, have darkvision. Within a specified range, a creature with darkvision can see in [[#darkness|darkness]] as if the darkness were [[#dim_light|dim light]], so areas of darkness are only [[#lightly_obscured|lightly obscured]] as far as that creature is concerned. However, the creature can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Tremorsense====
| |
| − | A creature with tremorsense can detect and pinpoint the origin of vibrations within a specific radius, provided that the creature and the source of the vibrations are in contact with the same ground or substance. Tremorsense can’t be used to detect [[#Flying|flying]] or [[#Incorporeal|incorporeal]] creatures. Many burrowing creatures have this special sense.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Truesight====
| |
| − | A creature with truesight can, out to a specific range, see in normal and magical [[#darkness|darkness]], see [[#Invisible|invisible]] creatures and objects, automatically detect visual illusions and succeed on saving throws against them, and perceives the original form of a shapechanger or a creature that is transformed by magic, Furthermore, the creature can see into the Ethereal Plane.
