Talk:Thermal Vision (5e Variant Rule)

I'm sorry, I just don't see a need for this page. This is literally just a racial trait for Cyborg (5e Race); why does it need to be a separate page? — Geodude (talk | contribs | email)‎‎ . . 21:27, 15 January 2019 (MST)

It’s being used in the Battle Mech monster, and I plan on using it for many more things. PickleJarPete (Talk) 9:31, 22 January 2019 (CST)

I'm fine with keeping this page around, but there's one point that definitely needs clarifying. Namely, "being able to see through objects in this range". How does that work? Is it like x-ray vision? Quincy (talk) 21:21, 22 January 2019 (MST)

I was working on something similar at one point. Not sure how thermal vision would let you see through objects though. I was thinking more something like:

Thermal Vision, X ft: You see in infrared, discerning objects and creatures primarily by the heat they give off. You ignore darkness and the Invisibilty spell but not magical darkness, Greater Invisibility or illusions. If an object or creature does not generate heat (or successfully masks its heat from you) or you cannot distinguish it from the ambient environment, it is considered invisible to you, unless you have another way to sense it.
