Torchlight-
The level of light produced by a torch, huge jar filled with
fireflies, a magic Light
spell, cavern filled with luminous mushrooms, and so on. No penalties
for actions.
Candlelight-
The level of light produced by a single candle. As should be
mentioned here; light levels are not cumulative. Two candles still
counts as the candlelight, but additional sources of light will help
prevent your lights from being snuffed out. As in no amount of
candles equals a torch, unless you've literally covered an entire
room with them or some other ridiculous situation. Creatures who rely
on light to see get -2 to all attacks and saving throws.
Matchlight-
The level of light created by sparse, inconsistent, or otherwise very
poor light. Also called "Dim" levels of light. Might be created by a few scattered, loose torchbugs in a
room, a single glowing mushroom, or striking several firestarters and
going by the sparks and flashes. Character who rely on this light get disadvantage OR -4 to all attacks and saving throws.
Total Darkness-
No light at all. In this scenario, characters cannot fight at all.
Only using some kind of supernatural blindfighting, or in a lucky 1
in 20 chance can you actually hit an opponent with an attack. You
also cannot cast spells, as you cannot see or visualize your target,
depending on the spell being cast. Total Darkness may also nullify
your saving throws against monster abilities; you cannot dodge the
sucking, swallowing mouth of a giant monster unless you can see it
coming, as such total darkness is the absolute most dangerous
situation and should be avoided at all costs.
