Dim light and stealth

(1/5) > >>

AeonBlues:
I put a fire resistance enchantment on a ring of mine to compensate for my wooden shield...  My character seems to be getting spotted more often now, and I was wondering what the penalty is for having a dim light with stealth.

LynnJuniper:
Not sure if there's a penalty, but if you use the gnomish contraption in the Scamp you can take the light off.

Stephen_Zuckerman:
Yes, there is; the Stealth/Perception system in NWN is actually really complex... There's a big thread on the subject in the Bioware Boards.

The more light, the more likely you are to be spotted. The closer you are, the terrain, ambient everything... Yeah.

Ohh,  that is what it does!

darkstorme:
Oh, so day/night cycles actually DO have an impact!  Can you link that thread, Stephen?  I've been wondering about the mechanical impact.
