Endeavour has many races with vision that differs from what a human would consider normal. These vision types are;
Human Spectrum
The human visual range allows visibility of a range of colors across the middle band of the light spectrum. Creatures with the human spectrum typically have a visual arc of 120 degrees.
Human Spectrum
| Light Level | Visual Penalty | Max Visual Range | Information |
|---|
| Very Bright (8000+ lux) | -116 | None | Prolonged exposure can cause permanent blindness |
| Bright (4000-7999 lux) | -46 | 500 meters | Prolonged exposure can cause permanent blindness |
| Daylight (2000-3999 lux) | none | 4km | None |
| Well Lit (500-1999 lux) | +12 | 8km | None |
| Dim (1-499 lux) | none | 4km | None |
| Dark (>1lux) | -9 | 500 meters | None |
| Pitch Dark (0 lux) | -116 | None | None |
Greyscale
Greyscale vision detects shade differential instead of color. Greyscale generally has a better time detecting camouflage, but those with greyscale can not ever determine colors. Visual arc 120 degrees.
Greyscale Vision
When attempting to see camoflaged targets +12
Can not differentiate colors

Tapeta Lucida
Predatory vision which allows for better vision in dim light. The field of vision is reduced slightly to allow for a more focused hunt. 90 degree field of vision.

Binocular
A vision style common to avian species. It increases preceptory range by reducing the field of vision. Visual Arc 75 degrees.
Binocular Vision
Gain a special minor action, you may choose to focus in on an object or creature granting a +25 to sight based checks against that target. All other sight based checks take an additional penalty of -21

| Pitch Dark (0 lux) | -116 | None | None |
Thermal-scale
Focusing on the infrared side of the light spectrum. It allows for vision based on heat sources. Thermal scale is the closest to darkvision one can get without magical assistance. Visual arc 120 degrees.
Thermalscale Vision
Characters with thermalscale vision can see through certain objects. If a creature of the heat or flesh types is behind cover they may still be "visible". If the target is not trying to hide you must roll a Challenging Success, if the target is attempting to hide you must roll 3 more successes than they do on thier hide or move silently check.
If the creature or object is the fire type reduce the number of successes needed by 2

Darkvision
Creatures with darkvision use some other form of particle or a purely magical visual range to see within pure darkness. Visual Arc 210 Degrees
