Question about in game light sources for night activites (new player, want to attend may event)

Hello everyone,

I just had a question about personal light sources in game for an assassin character.

1) First of all, what is recommended?
2) I personally was thinking about using a small light that fits inside the palm of my hand, an LED light ring, or a small battery powered lantern. For RP purposes, I would consider the handheld lighted ring/palm light as an "enchanted light item that I got from a fallen enemy." - since my character wouldn't be a magic user.

Here are 5 links for items I was looking at. Is this sort of stuff ok based on what I want to do?

Wait...So you want people to see you at night while you do your sneaky assassiny stuffs?

no not necessarily that, but if i'm alone, I'd like to be able to see for a moment or two outside at night if i have to - I definitely don't plan on running around waving a light to draw attention to myself.

That was the correct answer. Well done.

I don't have a reply for you because I don't know the rules about IG light sources. And even if I did, I'm not authorized to give you that answer. I however WILL tell you that that ring light thingy looks pretty dang cool. So once we get a ruling for this question, I might consider getting me one of those depending on the answer.

Good question!

Sounds good - i guess we will wait on the official word.

So for a newb thats never been to knight realms, what do you guys regularly see in terms of lighting at night for PC's? I'm assuming everyone isn't running around with real lit torches

From the Rulebook regarding Lighting...

Lighting
Rules for Light Sources at Knight Realms:

A light effect produced by an item, spell, prayer, or other ability can be represented by a battery-powered or chemical glow stick with a maximum length of 6".

Artificial candles, lanterns, or torches that produce simulated firelight are permitted for IG lighting use; an item card is required for anything larger than a candle.

Candles, lanterns, or torches that produce real firelight are permitted for IG use, but are not permitted for use inside of buildings or on porches; an item card is required for anything larger than a candle.

Light sources cannot be directed at other players in an attempt to blind them or disrupt night vision.

IG light sources must produce diffuse light. Directed light sources (e.g., a flashlight) are prohibited from IG use.

Any form of lighting that is not permitted for IG use can only be used by a player who is OOG, and must be doused immediately if an IG scene is taking place in the vicinity of that light source.

For being a "stealthy roguish type"... there used to be some helpful tips & guidelines, but I can't find that page on the website anymore.

Best thing to do in this situation is to please speak with a New Player Marshal in private to discuss all your character questions and flavors.
