An interesting question cropped up when talking to a friend of mine earlier today and I thought I would bring it to you all.
Neither myself or my friend had a source book handy during the conversation and we were unsure whether our question was covered in the rules. I didn't feel like waiting until I got home to find out. We came to the conclusion that sight on the astral plane was not based on light bouncing off of objects and entering the eyes, since you don't have meat eyes when projecting. If this is true it means that there are no modifiers for various types of lighting, it also would mean that you cannot see through transparent objects when Projecting. If you see a dull reflection of mundane objects then a transparent window would just be a featureless gray plane, wouldn't it? Since there is no light to pass through it your vision would stop at the object. Does anyone know if there are rules, or any instances that state how vision physically works in the astral plane? |
