Some powers describe a range that can affect something "nearby". What is "nearby"?
On Modern Nights, 'nearby' is line of sight. That's in a practical, spirit-of-the-term perspective: 'nearby' is close enough that the average sighted human person can make out the details of and perceive the target accurately. In indoor scenes, that's "in the same room as you, so long as you can see them clearly." In outdoor scenes or quasi-outdoor scenes, when there's a grey area, the boundary is 30 yards (about 27 meters). While perception-enhancing powers may negate any perception penalties (such as it being super foggy or super dark) they will not expand the 30 yard boundary.
