A Life More Synthetic; Nightvision Adaption

 Adapted from Starfinder 2e Playtest, and Android- Archives of Nethys

Nightvision Adaptation allows characters to see in the dark, providing them with a significant advantage in combat, exploration, and stealth situations. They can spot enemies, traps, or hazards that others might miss. The ability to see in the dark can be a valuable asset for characters who specialize in stealth or deception. They can move through dark areas without being detected and ambush enemies unaware of their presence. The feat allows characters to discover hidden passages, secret rooms, or valuable resources that others might miss.

While Night Vision Adaptation is a powerful ability, it can be affected by certain environmental factors, such as thick smoke or dense fog. In these conditions, the character's vision may be obscured. The feat aligns well with Android characters who are designed for combat, exploration, or stealth roles. However, it might not be as useful for characters who primarily focus on social interactions or other non-combat activities.
