Darkness domain cleric does not seem to be receiving immunity to darkness as when I cast it and stand inside I am unable to target mobs with spells and the like as id assume what immunity to darkness would mean, ie functions as if I had ultravision.

Re: Darkness Domain
Was this on PGCC or the live servers?
We are currently testing a new approach to darkness effects on PGCC, so feel free to double check things there :)

Re: Darkness Domain
Hey! I'll explain how darkness functions, then how the domain is scripted to interact with it.
The Darkness AOE does two things:
1) Applies a special blindness to all creatures within (except for the spell's caster)
2) Applies a special invisibility flag to all creatures within.
Ultravision grants immunity to the 'Darkness' blindness AND acts as See Invisibility for the special case of invisibility.
The Darkness Domain treats the PC as the caster, so they are not blinded by darkness.
HOWEVER, this does not grant them the ability to see PCs affected by darkness.
That said, an experimental rework for darkness is on the PGCC. This should fix any bugs when encountering someone else's darkness.
