I always thought that was just when it was dark(and you had no light).

Light levels and things in the way to prevent sight are two seperate things, yes, but don't they both cause the same thing?  Loss of visibility.  Think realistically, act realistically and don't worry about the code until you find out in game.

Shoka, it did. I haven't run into a storm that did in RL years now, so I beleive that it has been taken out. Of course, one should RP being befuddled by the lack of sight, unless, of cours, you just wouldn't be.

V, within the last couple months, I KNOW for fact that I have run into the problem...if visibility gets too low due to lack of light or presence of storm either alone or in some combination has caused me to go the wrong way.  Mind, if you can read the room description, your character can see well enough to walk along happily...if you can't see well enough, you may want to figure it out.

Are you positive it wasn't night? I mean, me and a pahtnah who runs the desert was talking about this the other day, and it wasn't what was happening. If this is back in, good.

Like I said, I know it happened a couple months ago...but that was with a previous character, in a different area (not to mention different type of area completely).  Unfortuantely, I can not test to see if it is in, but like I said, I encourage everyone (as I'm sure you realized was who I was talking to for the last half of my post last time too) to simply play realistically, though.  Get a light source!  Don't walk around in the dark night in a sandstorm, people!

Rangers and perhaps desert elves (not sure about that one) can walk straight regardless of lack of light or the presence of a sandstorm. If this is realistic I do not know, but I also know in real life we dont have "Rangers" persay, maybe some close equivelants, but not any true "Rangers" to compare with our in game "Rangers".  So I think deciding if your ranger has the ability to keep it straight regardless of a storm is a decision the player has to make.

I figured it was because they have a natural sense of direction.

You are correct, they do.

A poorly trained Green Beret would qualify.

Um, what exactly were the people the US were fighting in Vietnam?  I'd call those fuckers rangers, being all sneaky and the like.

Don't forget the Texas Rangers.

While they're basically the Texas FBI here, they originally started out, riding around in the wilderness, doing typical 'rangery' things.

Really well trained Boy Scouts might qualify, as would many real-world hunters.

Not mentioned so far, and would put anybody mentioned to shame so far are the many native tribes scattered around the world even today and in history. For woodlore, herbalism, hunting, tracking, poison use and more they would be the closest to a zalanthan ranger...or in many ways better.

Really well trained boy scouts? Ok, I see where we are going with this. The topic of debate isnt wether or not we have real world rangers, but for the love of god, just having wilderness knowledge dosent make you a ranger. A quadraplegic could sit around reading survival books and search wild herb knowledge on the net, be the most knowledgeable of all in the tactics of surviving the wilderness, but being a ranger is more than just a knowledge thing. Im talking a scrab chopping, travel all day and night without a saddle sore, spit in your eye, RANGER.
