[QUOTE="Rae ArdGaoth, post: 2086590, member: 21064"] Your proposal is a good one, and plausible as well. I admit, perhaps I didn't look deep enough into it all. But! As my defense, the definition in the PHB says nothing about "Characters who remain blinded for a long time grow accustomed to these drawbacks and can overcome some of them." (Where did you get your definition, anyway?) Not to mention that the rule is not very specific. "Some" implies, of course, not all, but which should/could be overcome? The point of the template was not to bend the rules to my favor, or even avoid existing rules. I tried to make it balanced, heck, the character needed to take several feats to get the abilities I was talking about. The blindsight and blindsense abilities were simply attempts to define the characters ability to exist in a normal environment without tripping over things and bumping into people all the time. The "most of us could agree" part is the problem. I need a way to make this... officially accepted. The point of this template proposal was to make the character universal, not just a deal with one DM. Should I make my character and submit him to the character judges and hash it out with them? Maybe that's the route I should've taken. I had looked into the Blind-Fight feat, and I thought that such abilities could be expanded on, hence the Potential Feats part of the template. Anyway, what should I do then? For now, I'll do as you proposed. I'll look at feats and such he could take and make a character to submit to Nimisgod and Knight Otu. Thanks for your response, it's better than a "No." Though it might have come before I made all my smeggin' revisions! :p EDIT: Oh yeah, and about the prestige classes, the only one in the SRD is the Dragon Disciple. That whole idea doesn't really go with my character's... path. I'm sure I could find more appropriate prestige classes in other material, but they're not accepted since they're not OGL, and... well, I don't know, I suppose I could make one. But I fear the same responses I got from this proposal... [/QUOTE]
