Every time a gamemaster says, "You walk into a pitch-black room." you can be sure at least one player will blurt out, "I have Darkvision." Darkvision is an extremely useful sense for characters. Darkvision allows characters to see in complete darkness without making a show of themselves by carrying around a light source. The only real drawback for Darkvision is that it fails to distinguish colors. At my table, Darkvision can see carvings but not writing. I make a special point when my players identify their senses that one key difference between low-light vision and darkvision is the ability to distinguish color. The trap in this room was designed to exploit the shortcomings of darkvision.
