Light/darkness radius wrong?

[alloowishus]

I have a darkness spell of 10 feet radius, so I use the effect of "LIGHT: 10 darkness" however it seems to give a radius of 22.5 feet. See the example below. Same for 5 foot radius, gives a radius of 12.5 feet. Is it just me or anyone else having this problem?

When only one light radius is supplied, that is assumed to be the near distance and the far distance is implied to be twice that radius. Try "LIGHT: 10|10 darkness"

Ok, thanks, that helps reduce it, however, it still extends the radius out by half a hex, i.e. 10/10 extends out 12.5 feet (as you can see in the image)

Distance is measured from the center of the square, not the edge of the square. So in your image you are seeing a distance of 20 ft (assuming your grid is set to 5 ft squares). If you don't want the light to go from the center of your square, you have to reduce the radius by 1/2 square distance.
