		(Infravision was described as being like \par fl-and-white vision in the original AD&D game, too, as noted \par later.)\par Night vision can be instantly spoiled by bright normal light, \par which is why driving experts tell you to look away from oncoming \par cars at night, to preserve your eyes' sensitivity.
		Superior infravision extended out to 90 feet, as was the \par case with trolls and troglodytes, or 120 feet, for drow and \par duergar (evil dwarves).
		Creatures with long-distance infravision \par were noted in the 1st Edition \plain \s1 \f16 \fs24 \i DUNGEON MASTER(R) Guide\plain \s1 \f16 \fs24 (page 59) \par as emitting infrared light from their eyes (magically, of course), \par then seeing the reflected radiation.

	Visions
		Infravision among the inhuman races is limited in range, and therefore limited in resolution.
		Infravision is thus useless with candles within 5’ of the observer, torches within 15’, small fires within 35’, and other sources as the DM determines.
		Infravision is of so much less resolution than visible light, that most creatures' eyes will switch to visible light, no matter how dim, if any visible light is available.

	THE WONDERS OF INFRAVISION
		If infravision is VERY sensitive, one might be able to see a cold-blooded creature sitting there, its gray outline discernible against a gray background - particularly if it recently moved off its hot rock while sunning itself and moved into its dark cave, for example.
		Of course, if the sensitivity of infravision is low, chances are he will not know 'who' he is looking at, or even how far away 'it' is, or even what size it may be unless he knows there is a mirror 30 feet down the hall, or he has some other visual or audio cues.
		Such creatures would stand out to infravision capable creatures as easily as a man with a torch at night or a campfire in the distance, or ever better, a man waving around a flash light in the dark would stand out for folks with normal vision.

	Rant - Infravision and Why It Should Be Destroyed
		Infravision is problematic because science tells us how heat should function, and infravision (which is supposed to see heat) doesn't work that way.
		A person using infravision is used to looking at a creature with a blurring, shifting outline (since the creature's body is heating the air around it, which the infra-user can see), so they should have no miss chance, or at least a reduced miss chance.
		While we're at it, if infravision is used, you'd need to note for each creature whether or not it gives off heat, and if it's a low, medium, or high level of heat (relating to the gelugon/ice devil question earlier).

	Infravision & Your Fantasy Hero
		If you dumped the infravision concept entirely, this sort of vision could be either light-intensifying vision, making the most of every visible-light photon in the area, or a form of magical radar, allowing for an accurate map of local surroundings without recognition of color or "flat" things like paintings, handwriting, etc.
		Superior infravision extended out to 90 feet, as was the case with trolls and troglodytes, or 120 feet, for drow and duergar (evil dwarves).
		Given that infravision is not as precise and focused as normal vision, the chances for mistaken identity increase when only infravision is used.

		Their infravision does not work in the presence of normal and magical light.
		Characters with infravision may see items or creatures that are the same temperature as the surrounding air, since air flow will inevitably show the viewer their border, outlining them in a faint light-blue tone.
		Infravision isn't good enough to read by, and infravision may only be used to recognize individuals within 10' unless the individual is very distinctive from far away.

	Dragonsfoot :: View topic - Lightning and Infravision
		My own rule is that infravision does not work where there is light (although creatures with infravision will have better vision than average in dim light).
		It seems that infravision and ultravision would definitely be affected to some degree.
		Art, IMO infravision is not really magic, but rather some type of evolutionary ability to see in the dark via heat (like a viper) shared with a wide variety of creature (although it may be magical in a way).

	Virtues
		While Infravision is in effect, the character cannot discern colors, everything is presented in shades, white being the hottest, fl being the coldest, neither is Infravison at all detailed.
		A character will have to guess at details (apply a -5 or more penalty to any perception rolls used to determine details), and it is impossible to read with infravision.
		Infravision extends to the limit of normal vision, but is not limited by atmospheric conditions.

	Little Rulings I Have Made
		Infravision: Many have suggested they can do extraordinary things with Infravision when they ASSUME it is as good as modern technological infrared scopes and the like.
		Remember, infravision is easy to spoil with even a little light around (a torch, continual light rock, camp fire, etc., are all right out if they wish to use infravision, and not just in the direction of those bright items, but while in the effective radius of their illumination).
		Though infravision is a handy thing to have, it is very limited in utility, especially while in some group where others rely on light in the visible spectrum.

		That's because in 3rd ed Infravision was replaced by either Low Light Vision or Darkvison.
		I think it still doesn't made invisible creature visible but you should check the rulling for Low Light and Darkvision to be sure.
		Infravision was a spell in 2ed ed, perhaps there is a 3.5 version of this spell that I don't know of.

		Infravision allows dwarves to see heat emanations from objects up to 60' in the dark.
		Half-elves also have infravision up to 60' from their elven parent.
		Depending on lineage, certain halflings have infravision, and all are especially resistant to magic and poison.

	Infravision, Ultravision, and Physiology
		We were told that with infravision, the hotter an object was, the bright it would appear; ultravision was not so well described, other than to suggest that those with ultravision could see as well at night as the rest of us could see by day.
		This was expanded in the Wilderness Survival Guide(tm) to include descriptions of color to temperature relationships for infravision, and weather condition modifiers for ultravision.
		A character with this type of infravision would always recognize when an object was hot, and could estimate its temperature by eye in any light, in the same way that you could tell how much "blue" was in a particular shade of green.

		When cast, 'infravision' will allow the target of the spell to see in the infrared spectrum for the duration of the spell.
		Although the seen spectrum is much different from what normal eyes are used to seeing, it is easy to adjust to and will not harm the eyes in any fashion.
		This means they are affected permanently with 'infravision' and will never need torch or lantern to see.

	EN World - Morrus' D&D / d20 News & Reviews Site - Infravision
		Infravision, as defined in the game, was too much of a pain in the neck to ajudicate properly.
		They include the abilty of darkvision to work with normal vision (infravision required a few minutes to adjust and didn't work near a light source, even if that light source was a shorter distance than the infravision distance) and the ability to see non living things in the dark.
		Reynolds, it is ALOT of work to incorporate infravision effectively into a campaign, and it would be silly to include it as a default rule.

		Infravision really isn't advantageous to anybody but Human and Erudite necromancers.
		It was stated that this spell grants Infravision, I must point out that I don't think that is correct.
		Infravision helps see at night and makes mobs have a red tint and be bright as if they are glowing at night.

		Up until now I've had a decent run of things and got a few good mutations (+3 infravision, Smell Monsters), an exp boost gaining me an extra level and a large shield of resist cold.
		Last time I leveled though I got made moronic and playing a ranger with this mutation sucks cause rangers rely on magic to do a lot of things.

		I just read the rant and it is pretty cool at explaining why infravision would complicate DnD, so I see why it is left out.
