Hi,
I have come across a situation where a light effect on a char/npc does not show on the map when that character has the blinded condition.
VISMAX is also limiting how far the light shines.
Being blind shouldn't stop your torch from shining.
It's reproducible in a clean 5e campaign with no extensions.
If anyone can help it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
L

If the NPC is the active token, then the behavior is correct. What happens if you change the PC to the active token?

In the screen shot the PC token is selected, making it their turn didn't change anything.
What I mean is the token without the light source cannot see the light source of a token that is blinded.

Token lights share the LOS data from the token. I'll make sure that the VISMAX is applied after the lighting. Thanks for reporting.
