Do you have any evidence? My DM seems to think otherwise. :nonono:

I'm playing a vampire, so yeah...I was thinking I might be frightened ("Dawn! EEEK!!" :eek: ), at least until I realized what was going on... ("Hey, wait...the sun went down an hour ago!")

It only simulates Daylight, it does not create it. ;)

My DM's rationale was if Darkness protects a vamp from sunlight, then Daylight affects them normally.

the monster manual (page 222) mentions only direct sunlight, which the daylight spell doesn't even claim to reproduce... according to the daylight spell discription the object touched sheds light in a 60 foot radius as bright as full daylight... it is simply letting you know how bright the light is, it says nothing about the light being actual sunlight.

It's daylight, not sunlight, so all it would do is hurt the vampire's eyes, and maybe panic him for a bit before he realizes he's not going blooey.

Take a look at the Night Hag and/or Nightshade for more info.

might force them into GF if it doesn't actually do its full effects. Just thoughts, never really considered it I guess... wow... and I played a vampie too ^.^
