Blinded

See also: Character Combat

The Blinded Status Effect is a debilitating condition that renders an individual's vision mute. A Blinded individual treats all creatures as though they possessed Total Concealment from them, thus suffering a -10 penalty to all attack rolls made against them. Additionally, a Blinded character cannot use the Observe aspect of the Perception Skill, and suffers a -5 penalty to Perception checks made to Search, as well as being Flat-Footed against any ranged attacks made against them.

Playing a Blinded Character
Being Blinded is a debilitating condition that eliminates a character's ability to see, and for some players, a character that is permanently Blinded can provide a unique roleplaying experience. If a player wishes to play as a Blinded character, they should first consult with their Gamemaster, and make sure that their condition is properly marked on their Character Sheet.

Being Blinded can allow a character to stand out in a unique way, as such a character would have difficulty performing simple tasks like reading and writing, but also possess unique strengths, such as the Improved Blind Fighting Feat and a number of special Talents.
