This page is about the status effect of having infravision. For the wizard spell as a possible source of gaining it, see Infravision (spell).
Infravision is a status effect that allows a creature to detect the heat of creatures and objects and thus see better in the dark.
All playable races except humans and halflings gain this ability on character generation, although this is bugged for half-orcs. A character without innate infravision can gain the ability through the spell of the same name or magical equipment like The Eyes of Truth and Topsider's Crutch. There is also an option for "group Infravision" which activates Infravision for the entire party as long as all party members are selected, even if not all of them have the ability.
In the dark, creatures revealed with infravision glow with a dim red light, which can be useful when exploring darker dungeons. Apart from the visual effect of creatures being highlighted in red, this ability has no gameplay effect.
