Darkness and Darkvision

[darrenan]

Is it a known issue that actors with darkvision cannot see through darkness 'lights' placed on the map? I've tested both PCs and NPCs, different casing of 'darkvision' on their sheets, but it doesn't seem to matter. Their sight is blocked by darkness, which, if it's acting like the spell should not be the case, even if heightened to 4th. Confirmed that greaterdarkvision does see through these areas of darkness. Was it a conscious decision to treat map darkness as 4th level darkness, rather than the more common regular darkness?

That is correct. The vision system is a general purpose system; and does not support the scenario where certain visions bypassing certain darkness lights.
