Here is the question: can you see undead using infravision or not? What do you do in your campaigns? Maybe the character see the undead in a more blue colour?...
Hi Ichte, IMC, undead are invisible to infravision. This is because they don't produce their own body heat. As a result, they're the same temperature as their...
But they are animated by some sort of 'unlife' energy, so might they actually be the opposite of most life forms and be actually darker in infravision? "Erin...
Entirely possible. :) I think it's all a matter of interpretation--how do you want to handle undead in your campaign? My interpretation is "mundane:" undead,...
I think you are onto something with this. I have "Return to the Tomb of Horrors," and the adventure mentions that the undead are tied to the Negative Energy...
Well it depends on your rationale for Infravision itself. Mostly, it's accepted that it's a heat based thing. In such a case, and given that it is effectly...
In GAZ 3 Principalities of Glantri, it is part of the School of Magic's section on Complemetary Courses: Spell Combination on pg. 59 last column. Now that I...

... I started working with thermal imaging systems in 1983, so I've got a fair bit of experience to apply on the subject of infravision. Of course, it all gets...
Gee Mark that was pretty impressive. Vince, maybe we could put this into our files and/or FAQ? As a general observation/treatise on infravision, it's well and ...
Now another question on this subkect line... What animals or insects can or are believed to be able to see in the infrared or ultraviolet spectrum? Bats use...
... I stopped using infravision (for the most part) back in 1981 and simply stated that "anything with infravsion simply has the ability to see in the dark". I...
IMC I gave elves extreme vision distance (3x human vision distance), and a kind of cats eye (If there is any light source at all their eyes can amplify it for...
Hee hee, Yep I've felt along those lines trying to explain too. I've seen arguments for dropping it altogether because no argument could justify it. ... ...
Bees, birds, rats and bats have some UV vision, here's a brief introductory article: http://www.bio.bris.ac.uk/research/vision/4d.htm Here's an article that...
... Yes, that's the way I play it most of the time, too. But it is fun to use the more detailed treatment at times. And there are some players who insist on...
Wow! All you research guys ROCK! More extremely cool information on vision! Not to complain, since I have been getting far more and far BETTER information than...
... Well, yes, but the line between it being magic and being a cop-out explanation is narrow, so a lot of players (and DMs) like things to be as realistic as...
... There are quite a few animals that can see a bit into the infrared spectrum, but there aren't many that can see in the same way as we can see IR with...
... In the sea IR is not transmitted well at all so I don't know of any IR image sensitive creatures there. Things like cave crickets use a sort of combination...
One response would be "Then why can't dwarves cast magic?" On Jan 9, 2006, at 8:54 AM, William Littlefield wrote: In a fantasy world? Easy...it's "magic". ;)...
