Beating down the Undead

[Jazzepi]

Blindness has no effect on casting besides the fact that you will no longer be able to hit with spells that have percision less than 100. You can still hit with ones like soul slay, paralyze, and horror mark. You can also cast spells like Swarm, Relief, Rain, stuff that doesn't rely on them targeting anything.

I'm sure you still could cast stuff like blade wind, but your derivation would be *so bad* you wouldn't want to bother with it.

Lastly, if you have mages with darkvision 100, I believe they can cast normally even while blind. I'm not 100% sure on this, so you'd have to test it first. You can also heal afflictions such as blindness after a big battle, but that's time consuming and probably not pratical without gift of health up.

I am pretty sure it does ot work that way, and if it does its a bug. In real life cats have darkvision, but if you pluck out thier eyes they are blinder than bats.

Darkvision 100 should not give blind sight. There is however a 'blind' flag that meant the unit doesn't use sight to orientate itself (some r'lyeh monsters etc).

Sorry, this is what I was thinking of. I think the statue pretender has this, where you can give her two eyes and it turns her blind, but it doesn't matter. Does that sound right?

Yeah, statues and fountains just get the "lost useless part"(or something) affliction. It allows for really nasty astral fountains with thier 4 misc slots. You can put 2 eyes of the void on them.
