Default Re: Vision penalties per yard?

So, the numbers provided by munin himself are self-consistent, but they do not match up with the example from UT he quotes in the same post. Therefore, the numbers do not match up.
Ah I see, munin's suggested "light obscurment" is -1 per yard, whereas the light haze suggested in UT is -1/100 per yard. In practice I'm not sure that the UT example is all that useful, I don't think I've ever bothered with a penalty that fractional, myself.
