    I had to look up that term, and found it quite interesting, and in particular this bit.

    Tetrachromacy may also enhance vision in dim lighting...

    Something similar to the 5e darkvision thing, though I wonder at how related it is to a few of the low light vision enhancing sensors we had on a few of our aircraft ... anyway, this thread was helpful to me.

    Rulings are not 'House Rules.' Rulings are a DM doing what DMs are supposed to do.

    Agency means that they {players} control their character's actions; you control the world's reactions to the character's actions.
    Gosh, 2D8HP, you are so very correct!
