Why weapon of Shocking lights 1 square halls?

Post by swhatley »

Got a spear of Shocking. It lights tiles 2 squares away in dark rooms. But, only adjacent squares in hallways. Why not 2 tiles in each direction in hallways? Just curois. Thanks!

For anyone who didn't see this in the other thread where I also answered it:

The special / elemental weapons give off a larger light radius in rooms (2 squares distance around your character), also maybe not known but you can wield a staff of light and get that effect too!

For the hallways it was a conscious choice to maintain the shorter light distance to keep things more suspenseful and claustrophobic. I wanted the player to still be able to have some of those "oh shit" moments when you are fleeing another enemy and suddenly one is right in front of you :lol:
