| Dwarves and elves have low-light vision to 60 feet. Their eyes are so sensitive to light that they can see twice as far as a Trewschan, Erden human, half-dwarf or half-elf in dim light. Low-light vision is NOT color vision. Low-light vision is insufficient to read anything smaller that 20 pt. type. However, characters with low-light vision can see outdoors on a moonlit night as well as they can at twilight or dawn. | Dwarves, goblins, hobgoblins, and elves have low-light vision to 60 feet.

| If a character or creature with low-light vision suddenly changes from conditions of darkness to bright light (for example, that of direct sunlight or a //Continual Light// spell) he will be unable to see well because of overstimulation of the eyes for 1d3 rounds. He will take a -1 penalty on attack rolls and all detection checks including tracking. | If a character or creature with low-light vision suddenly changes from conditions of darkness to bright light (for example, that of direct sunlight or a //Continual Light// spell) he will be unable to see well because of overstimulation of the eyes for 1d3 rounds.

| Except for Young Adult and Mature, these penalties and benefits are not automatically applied. Everyone has met at least one middle-aged man or woman who is in better health at 50 than they were at 20, or the elders who haven't read a book in 30 years. When a character transitions from one age category to the next, roll for each affected attribute. There is a 20% chance that, for good or ill, it will not change. Moreover, characters do not arbitrarily die as soon as they reach their maximum allotted span in the Venerable category. Instead, once they enter their Venerable years, either the player or the GM must roll a percentile die each time they suffer a significant shock or engage in extremely strenuous, unaccustomed physical exertion; such activities may be enough to kill them. Once they exceed their highest age, the GM should roll every three game-months to determine if they survive. | Except for Young Adult and Mature, these penalties and benefits are not automatically applied.
