From what I am reading it sounds like I cast the spell and only the individuals 'outside' the affected area cannot see inside. Darkness offers a 20% concealment bonus to all inside so what does Blacklight do?:confused:

It blocks both normal vision and darkvision. If you (the caster) are within the affected area, you can see normally within the area. However, if you are outside the spell's area, you cannot see through it.

adamx20 04-23-07, 12:00 PM	So what kind of cover am I recieving with a Blacklight spell? 100%?
Zanan 04-23-07, 12:33 PM	So what kind of cover am I recieving with a Blacklight spell? 100%? As you cannot see your opponent, I'd rule it much like invisibility.
AbyssKnight 04-24-07, 11:22 PM	You receive no cover. But you do have total concealment.
Terraneaux 05-04-07, 03:55 AM	So no bonus to your AC, but your opponent has to guess which square you're in and you have a 50% miss chance. Also when shooting out of it you're considered an invisible attacker.
Ramenth 05-07-07, 01:12 PM	Am I crazy or should, logically, the effects of Blacklight and Darkness be switched?
