Heavy rain, thick smoke, and other environmental effects can affect your vision, making it hard to gauge your surroundings or even see your allies. Zones can be either Lightly Obscured or Heavily Obscured.
Lightly Obscured
A Zone filled with mist, steam, or light rain is Lightly Obscured. A Lightly Obscured Zone has the following effects:
- You can use the environmental conditions to Hide, and have Advantage on Stealth (Hide) Tests.
- You have Disadvantage on Awareness (Sight) Tests and Ranged Tests.
Creatures outside your Zone have Disadvantage on Awareness (Sight) Tests to see into the Zone, and on Ranged Tests to target anyone in the Zone.
Heavily Obscured
A Zone covered in thick smoke, heavy smog, or torrential rain is Heavily Obscured. A Heavily Obscured Zone has the following effects:
- You are Blinded.
- Creatures outside your Zone can’t see into the Zone at all, and can’t target anyone in the Zone with ranged attacks.
Though they can still target your Zone with grenades and other explosives.
