Does a light source that creates Bright light also create a zone of Dim light?

[The Kulak]

I can't find anything in the book about light sources creating dim light beyond their Bright light range. I'm going to default to what feels like a sane choice of Dim light extends twice as far as Bright.

So the Light spell casts 20' Bright light, and 20 feet beyond that of Dim light.

Good question! Following.

[Nullpunkt]

No. The light levels Bright and Dim Light and Darkness still exist, but light sources work differently now. They tell you exactly what range and how they illuminate.

Examples:

p. 184 wrote:

CANDLE

A lit candle sheds dim light in a 5-foot radius

So no bright light at all from a candle.

p. 187 wrote:

TORCH

A torch sheds bright light in a 20-foot radius. It can be
used as an improvised weapon that deals 1d4 bludgeoning
damage plus 1 fire damage.

No dim light from a torch. Just 20 feet of bright light and then a sharp drop to darkness (or whatever the background illumination level is).

Since darkvision is now unlimited, dwarves and goblins are now god tier in lightless dungeons with big rooms.

Yeah, I was wondering this as well. Seems strange.

Think night-vision goggles and infrared spectrum.

This hopefully get's changed. Beyond being counterintuitive it makes Darkvision way too good

it also makes Low-Light vision sound better than it actually is. At the moment almost nothing provides Dim Light for such abilities to take advantage of.
