 **Bright light** lets most creatures see normally. Even gloomy days provide bright light, as do torches, lanterns, fires, and other sources of illumination within a specific radius.
-**Dim light**, also called shadows, creates a lightly obscured area. An area of dim light is usually a boundary between a source of bright light, such as a lamp, and surrounding darkness. The soft light of twilight and dawn also counts as dim light. A particularly brilliant full moon might bathe the land in dim light.

 **Uncomfortable** temperatures may be too warm or too cold, and while they can reach harmful levels, are survivable for short periods of time.  A character who is in uncomfortable temperatures suffers slight to all skill checks.  Note that specific items of equipment may remove this penalty.
-**Dangerous** temperatures can cause permanent harm within minutes of exposure.  Dangerous levels of cold are typical of the Arctic in winter during a blizzard, whereas dangerous levels of heat include a literal inferno---equatorial heat never really reaches dangerous levels.  A character exposed to dangerous temperatures suffers 1d8 points of Cold or Fire damage at the start of each of their turns.
