Sure, the dust raised by the fighter's booted feet gives clues, the clanking of his armor, the displacement of air caused by his walking, all these allow the 1000+-year old wyrm to sense that the fighter's _right over there_, but if the dragon (let's give him a name: oh, say, Ashardalon) attempts to melee attack, he still gets a 50% miss chance. And yes, I know that all Ashardalon has to do is cast "see invisibility"...but why should he _have_ to? You really believe that this wily creature, wise, ever-vigilant, can merely "sense" that intruders have invaded his horde, "over there" somewhere?A bat now has to rely on his "low-light vision" to find and catch his food sources, even on moonless nights, because his blindsense only gives him a 50% chance of grabbing his airborne prey. Sort of odd too that bats used to have extremely poor vision, with a max range of 10ft., and now they have vision twice as good as a human!</blockquote>
