I am absolutely sure that Eye Shield is not so great against SCs. You really need luck and it may take even 20-40 hits for other SC to lose just one eye. I had 1:1 fight, my Tartarian with Eye Shield against Arch Devil and he lost one eye after about 40 turns of battle.

Z, you are destroying the fearsome mystique of the Eye Shield.

And I have given eye losss to an SC after the first hit. So who is right? Shall we fight about it? My eye shield wielding SC vs. your eye shield wielding SC?

I think that the attack has to miss into the exact range that the eyeshield improves defence by.

This is possible and even likely given the description of the eye shield. So is the MR check, but we currently do not know for certain.

If there's no MR check then any (non-spider etc.) attacker would be blind on the second round. That's easy to check if you're worried about it.

What about Visions Foe - the blindness causing crossbow - does that have an MR check or just need to hit?
