Andor's Trail

Back on old text Rouge if you had a potion of blindness and drank it you went blind.
Duh.

BUT,
if you threw it at a monster and made a hit then the monster behaved as if it was blind.

The old Rouge's "Wand of Light" would light a room, fizzle on hallways but have no effect on monsters.
In reality you could achieve the the same lighting effect with a M583 White Star Parachute Cartridge often seen lighting movie combat scenes as it slowly drifts down.
Add the magical ability to have a flare hover without a chute and you have a basic "Wand of Light".
If you then shot it at some monster you would likely cause some damage and apply a stun or blindness combat penalty.

In this case I'm suggesting that an Andor's Trail wand of light could cause full visibility within say an 8 to 15 tile radius of the empty target square and maybe only last about 10 minutes.
If shot at a monster:

• target rolls for damage vs BC (1d6 to 1d20)
• "flash bulb" blindness for 5 rounds (-100% AC)
• all immediately adjacent monsters and PC should roll vs BC for same preceding blindness.

Rouge's graphics were simple monochrome ASCII characters but if you played long enough you could find all sorts of unexpected game play hiding in the code.

Are you working to the last new maps by any chance? I just started playing the new update and I am kind of getting lost in the new fields with lizards and on those wooden bridges on the lake, I could really use an updated World Map
