[QUOTE="Ascending Crane, post: 712306, member: 7698"] It is indeed a fun class to DM for (I happen to be Saber's DM). It certainly helps that Saber is an incredibly good roleplayer, but I digress. In the game, Sabre's character has begun to train a young girl that formerly was a monk of Shar. Now she's become, in a short time - a student of the character (and Ilmater). I thought it would be cool for her to be by his side as a sort of guide. I even ruled that if she spends the round directing him in combat - he gets a slight bonus to the normal concealment chance to miss. [i]"Master! Four feet to your left, three steps forward! He has a dagger!"[/i] When the player rolls his d20 to hit in combat, I have him roll 2d6 as well. If either of the die has a 4 or better, he does not automatically miss (Normally, there is a 50% chance to miss while blind - but with Blind Fighting it is reduced to 25%. I've ruled that if the dice comes up double 3's and the student is directing him, he can still hit). While I was concerned in the beginning about DMing for a blind character, I've found it to be a twist in a game where everyone seems to be the slight variations of a few common themes. Kudos to you, Arcane Runes Press - for making something different and [i]fun[/i]. So - anyone else have any experiences with this class...? Or blindness in general? [/QUOTE]
