Other Notes
(stuff about night vision?)
Rogues
Rogues can’t hide in shadows while in a darkened room and carrying the only light source, but can use their vision ability to hide if there’s no light source at all. An alternative approach, for getting those sweet, sweet backstabs in darkened areas, is to drop your light source before hiding. In areas full of light-fingered NPCs, it’s worth carrying a cheap and disposable light source for this purpose.
Dwarves
Dwarves have limited night vision. While most races will have difficulty performing actions or do anything in dark rooms, dwarves do not. While they cannot see anything, and actions like 'examine' will fail, they can for example take things they know are there, open doors and perform other actions they are already aware of, or get to know by 'searching' (which they can also do in the dark).
