Message: <blockquote data-quote="argo" data-source="post: 2526935" data-attributes="member: 5752">AFAIK there is no official rule that covers this.Here is what I would do.  I'd make the player spend two feats: take Blindfighting as normal and then a second feat for "Uber Special Ability Just For You".  I'd give him blindsight with a '5 radius (thus he won't go tripping over chairs and can punch people in melee normally) and then grant blindsense with a 30' radius (thus he can sense when someone enters the room but his ranged combat will suck).  I would let the effects of Blindfight extend out to 30' as well, so he gets a 25% miss chance against anyone between 5-30' and doesn't loose his Dex bonus against them.  I would also limit his movement to 3/4 speed (though monk levels will make up for that some).  Lastly I would make it that both his blindsight and blindsense are explicitly linked to his hearing.  Thus a thuderstone or silence spell will put him out of commission and anyone with the Move Silently skill will effectievly have the Hide In Plain Sight ability with regards to him.  Rogues will eat this guy alive.  Note also that anyone beyond 30' will be invisible to him, archers will laugh as they stand back and launch arrow after arrow.And of course make it clear that his eyesight may never be restored by anything less than a wish/miracle.Hope that helps.</blockquote>
