INT - LIVING ROOM - EVENING
A group of people (TIEFLING, SORCERER, FIGHTER, DM) are sitting around a table playing DND.
DM
You enter a cave. The cave entrance is dimly lit however, deeper into the cave it is pitch dark.
TIEFLING
I have darkvision.
DM
The rest of you, how do you plan to explore the cave?
SORCERER
I cast dancing lights. And put each of the orbs in front of myself and the rest of my friends.
TIEFLING
I don’t need it since I have darkvision.
DM
Tiefling, I’ve taken note, so don’t worry about stating you have darkvision ok? As you progress into the cave, now illuminated by dancing lights…
Tiefling holds up their hand to speak. DM interrupts.
DM
And by the guidance of your darkvision. You are suddenly faced by a goblin. The goblin casts some kind of incantation. Your dancing lights disappear. What do you do now in the darkness? You hear what you presume to be the goblin scuttling off.

I cast control weather to clear up the fog.
DM is getting frustrated by this. The other players roll their eyes at Tiefling.
CUT TO:
DM
The wizard casts a spell and you are all shrouded in darkness. Your attacks will be at disadvantage.
TIEFLING
I have darkvision.
OTHER PLAYERS
I have darkvision.
DM
Tiefling you try to focus your darkvision aided eyes, but this is no ordinary darkness. It is magical in nature, so you can-
TIEFLING
I cast dispel magic!
DM Gets up throwing his notes everywhere.
DM
That's it! No more tieflings, elves or magic goggles. No more darkvision ever!!!
