Re: Dead Worlds & D&D 3e

I thought the faerie fire casts light, just very faint colored light, and
you could still see it with new darkvision just like you could see it with
old infravision.

I've always wondered how the drow managed to read and have a written
language with only infravision.  Magically hot/cold inks?  It also always
bugged me that hiding from someone with infravision would be much more
difficult than hiding from someone w/o it, and I didn't find that fact
adequately addressed in the rules.

I don't see anything wrong with upping drow vision to be a full color
darkvision, but either way, faerie fire still glows in colors and is seen in
color.  For illithids, I'd personally be inclined to leave them with normal
black & white vision (or maybe more shades of purple/green/some other alien
color) and give them extra psionic senses to get around as well.  Does the
Illithiad say anything about their visual capabilities?
