Measuring Areas of Light


Rules Questions

Silver Crusade

Just wanted to ask about how you determine areas of light from light sources. I know that area effects are measured out from an origin intersection point. Is light measured the same way or from the square which holds the light source?

I just want to make sure before my players head into Delvehaven at night.


$ Light (x) dx


I cannot find a quote right now, but because many spells generate light, it is easiest (and most consistent) in my experience to treat all light sources as areas of effect.

do a search for "Table: Light Sources and Illumination"

It explains how a light source affects the current area. I don't know if you start from the square or a point to be honest, but it is only about a half square distance so it won't matter much except in strange cases.
