    The torch can be used to burn plague victims' bodies for extra XP... That's the only use I've found for it so far.

    [​IMG] Try playing at night when you can't see a bloody thing... It's very useful then.

    The torch definitely makes a difference in the light level around your character. However, a lot of the demi-human races (like my half orc) have superior nightvision of some sort and therefore don't really need it. But if you are wandering around Neverwinter Wood at night with a human or halfling character, I bet its real handy. :)

    I have only played with elves so far, and they have a limited nightvision.. So I don't think they aren't that necressary.

    I have a ring that acts like a torch.
    Saves a weapon slot.

    Having any of the light producing objects in the game does improve visibility, even if you have full darkvision or something like that. I forgot elves only have lowlight vision, since I rarely play them. They would benefit from a light source in many places as well.

    The low-light vision of my Half-Elf was really cool while going through the prison. There'd be a dark corner that I couldn't see into while in the torchlight, but as soo as I moved away from the torches and into the dark, it lit up with a blue glow, even better than the torchlight.
