Bullseye Lantern

A bullseye lantern is a sturdy, metal-encased light source designed to project a focused beam rather than cast light in all directions. At its front is a single, thick glass lens—often convex—that concentrates the flame's glow into a bright, conical beam, ideal for spotting things at a distance or peering into the darkness without revealing one's full position. A built-in shutter or sliding panel allows the bearer to instantly block the light without extinguishing the flame, offering both discretion and convenience. Favored by scouts, watchmen, and dungeon delvers, this lantern is a reliable tool for exploration and covert movement.

The focused beam of a bullseye lantern projects Bright Light in a 60-foot cone, with Dim Light extending 30 feet beyond that. It consumes 1 pint of oil every 6 hours of use.

Alternatively, a candle may be used as a light source within the lantern. When powered by a candle, the lantern sheds bright light in a 15-foot cone and dim light for an additional 15 feet. This option offers reduced visibility but can be useful for conserving oil or maintaining a lower profile.

Closing or opening the shutter can be done as either a Standard Action REC 1, or an Immediate Action.
