Aspect of the Beast Question


Rules Questions

Grand Lodge

So if you take Aspect of the Beast (Night Senses) you gain a number of abilities.

If your base race has Normal Vision, you get Low Light
If your base race has Low Light, you get Darkvision
If your base race has Darkvision, you get more range for Darkvision

My question is, if your base race has low light, but you traded it away for say Scent (catfolk) and later take AotB, do you regain low light and get darkvision?

The feat says if your Base Race has X, not if You have X. I can however see the argument against it. Half Elf trading Low Light for drow Darkvision then getting the Low Light back and improving their Darkvision. This is, of course no better then a dwarf or gnome taking the feat, except they are not making any shenanigan like choices while gaining the same benefits.


As written Yes. As intended, I think no, you don't have (base race's vision) any more, you'd have to take the feat to get your vision back.
